Cape of Good Hope

The little claw-shaped peninsula in the back is the famous Cape of Good Hope - the southwestern-most part of Africa. 

For ships coming from Europe, being on the other side of this cliff meant half of their journey was accomplished.

Another view of the Cape - this time from the east. Four different species of cormorants are roosting there.

Another  example of classic African wildlife!

The ostriches are a family and word the Cape coast regularly.
