Visit with Tobias: Peninsula Tour, part 1

This past weekend we met and hosted Tobias (Tobi), who travelled all the way from Karlsruhe, Germany for a week in the Cape Town area - five days for a conference, and two great days with us. Tobi is engaged to be married to Ethel-Maria, who we met in 2003 when she visited BFA (we've stayed connected since then) and so we feel privileged to now meet Tobi - the wedding is in less than three weeks!

Saturday was a beatiful day, sunny and warm but with a nice breeze, so we spent the day touring the Cape Peninsula and seeing some popular sights. Here are some photos, part 1.





Yes, those are African penguins! They are the only penguins in Africa and are endangered, which is why this small colony on the peninsula is now protected and their home is a national park.
