Seal colony at Duiker Island

We boarded the boat, from Hout Bay, to visit the seal colony on Duiker Island. The sea was very choppy and we had to hang on tight while the boat lurched this way and that. The Island was covered in a huge seal colony and the smell was unbelievable. There were hundreds of Cape fur seals covering the rocky island and many more wallowed in the turbulent waters. On the return, we watched dolphins leaping from the water in the bay

At Cape Point we turned down the offer of the tramway and walked to the summit. The views were superb. Below us a balmy sea was washing the beach. When we reached the top we could see,  in the distance, the tip of Africa and the Indian Ocean. The sun blazed down. It was like the best of summer days back home.
