Arrived in Cape Town, South Africa

Flew into Cape Town and rented a car at the airport. Driving on the left, even with GPS, required great concentration. Plus, I was driving during rush hour traffic on unfamiliar roads and looking into the sun (which made it hard to read signs). GPS directions were given in kilometers and meters. Somehow made the hour's drive to Simon's Town with a few minutes of daylight to spare.

The Airbnb apartment in Simon's Town where I'll spend the next 9 nights is totally charming. It's a short walk to Boulders Beach, where the African Penguins live year-round.
