A recent trip to South Africa took me to Cape Town, the Cape Point area, the Wine Route, west coast up to Lamberts Bay, and the east coast up to Die Dam near Cape Agulhas (the most southern point of Africa). 

Trip Highlights:  The  penguins, gannets, dolphins, cormorants, sea lions and dassies -- all in their natural environment. The wineries, the beaches, the mountains, and the wonderful South African food and people.
