Cape Town 3 The Peninsula & Cape of Good Hope

Cape Town Day 3 The Peninsula & Cape of Good Hope

After our trip up Table Mountain we negotiated with our friendly taxi driver Peter to take us on a day trip around the peninsula to the Cape of a Good Hope National park.
We travelled down the Atlantic side of the peninsula and back up the Indian Ocean side.
The National park was quite rocky with a variety of flora and fauna including some ostriches and proteas in abundance. Walked up a hill or two for viewpoints down rocky cliffs and sea views.

He also took us around a black township in Hout, locking the car doors before we entered. Houses were most made of corrugated iron and recycled materials. Very basic. They had running water and communal toilets. A lot of the people travel to the city to work.     
Didn't feel quite right to take photos but you can probably find google images on these townships.
