The
Cape of Good Hope is not quite the southernmost point on the African continent.
But it is the south-westernmost point and a fascinating hour
trip south of Cape Town. It has baboons,
elands, ostriches, and
bonteboks, flora found nowhere else in the world and vertiginous views
at the point the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Actually, the Cape Peninsula
has two points, Cape Point with a lighthouse and a tourist funicular,
and the Cape of Good Hope. Look at a map and check it out.
