ZA for travel-sake.

South Africa isn't just for mission trips, it's a beautiful place to visit for travel-sake.  Cape Town is a beautiful stunner of a city, I can't wait to spend more time there at leisure!  

My rental car in front of what I think is supposed to be the 12 Apostles? First time left-side of the road driving! 
The beach at Camps Bay.
Penguins making their morning trek to the water at Boulders Beach.
View of Table Mountain at the V&A Waterfront.
The lighthouse at the Cape of Good Hope.

Here's a quirk: I had a couple of days to spare so I decided think outside of the box and stay at Old Mac Daddy Luxury Trailer Park.  Yes, trailer park.  Each of the park's dozen themed trailers are decorated according to theme.  Fabulous. 

View of the main building from my trailer.
The inside of my trailer, called "Life Before Colour."
Full-sized bath inside!

To make things even better, because it was winter and down-season, I had the entire resort to myself! The food was wonderful, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and I will definitely be making a return someday.  Check out the Old Mac Daddy website here: http://www.oldmacdaddy.co.za

Now, what about safari? Yessssssss! These were taken at the Inverdoorn Game Reserve and Resort, about 2.5 hours outside of Cape Town:




This reserve boasts a specialty cheetah reserve  and lovely accommodations! Giraffes are still my favorite. Here's the website: http://www.inverdoorn.com.
