Boulders Penguin Center
Above Left, OBSERVATION: If you look at the Penguins around Southern Africa part of the image, it seems that Penguins exist exactly where there are no Crocodiles. The African coastal waters around Mozambique (SE Africa) are loaded with Crocs and Saltwater Crocs.
Establishments and Entertainment around the Boulders Penguin Center
Above: This Acapella Musical Group is called Khayelitsha, they are very popular in South Africa. We bought their album (CD) called Peacemakers (Vol 1), we play it at dinner parties as background music, we always get compliments and questions about the music, and we hear and appreciate the comradeship that comes through the group singing.
Visiting Simon's Town, Fish Hoek, & Muizenberg on False Bay
Above: Homes overlooking False Bay.
Above: Some of these 'Changing Rooms' and 'Summer Cottages' are over 200 years old and used to be homes for colonial sailors and merchants.
Victoria Wharf, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, or V&A (local)
