South Africa #2: What are these things?
@#$#**@$ WILD TORTOISE! |
This week was the week of stalking tortoises, picnics, internet outages, hikes around town, beach walks, penguin colonies, and settling down to my new life here. I think this week's blog post is going to be mostly about animals..
Rock Dassie stare down |
And then there was the penguin colony... Awesome Amore' planned a trip for Ella (summer student), her brother, and I to go see the penguins about 45 minutes from Hermanus. I had been to a penguin colony before in Chile, but we were on a boat and could 'see' the penguins. Here... we could smell the penguin poop and could practically touch them. I thought I was flying I was so happy.
He's trying to escape because he loves me and wants to be closer to me. Obviously. |
I would have died of joy if a penguin bit me. AH! SO cute!!! |
Please bite me penguins! |
Brad, you're looking a little desperate |
Beach time!!! |
The rest of my week was day hikes in the mountains and along the coast when the internet would go out which was frequently. It was kind of a mixed blessing... "Bummer no work... but... HIKING!" I think I'm finding a good balance here between work, play, and making sure I stay healthy (my vegetable intake has doubled!). I wish you all could be here with me :)
Just another day in Hermanus :) |
