For a truly unique experience at the beach, how would you like to go swimming with penguins?
This is what I did in the Cape Province in South Africa. Boulders Beach, in the southwest part of the Cape, is a tourist attraction for the beach, swimming and the penguins. Here is a protected colony of jackass penguins.
It was a real treat to watch these penguins swimming and roaming freely among the tourists, and listening to their braying noises that give them their name. I couldn't believe how I and the other tourists could walk among them, getting as close as three feet, and they showed no fear. They appeared almost tame.
When leaving, there is a big sign in the parking lot that reads, "Be sure to look under your car for penguins before leaving."
Playing and swimming with the penguins in their natural habitat was a real delight.
You have a very interesting blog with stuff we don't often hear about. Especially love the African landscape pic, swimming with penguins, the recipes.
