Penguins in Cape Town


The Two Ocean Aquarium in Cape Town is amazing.  Recommend everyone to stop by there to see all these cool animals.   If you want to see penguins in wildness, I would suggest people to go to the Boulders beach in Simon Town.  It is a conservation beach where you will see over 50 penguins resting on the beach or hiding in the bushes.  The entry fee is around R40, which is a good price and at the same time help preserve these little mammals' living space.

If people are interested on learning more about this, let me know and I will post more pictures here or in future posts.

Greek Islands

I found an article yesterday regarding 10 best Greek Islands.  The link is very helpful.  I wish I read this before I went to Greece last May.  Regardless, take a look if you are planning to go there soon. 

I would recommend people to go to Crete, because it is one of the largest islands in Greece.  There are so many things you can do there, but it will take you at least 12 hours to get there by cruise ship from Athens. It is also obvious that you should go to Santorini, one of the best islands to see the sunset.  However, it will get crowed during summer since it is one of the most commercial islands for tourists.  I would suggest you travel there early May, which is not the peak season.

Picture taken at the edge of Cape of Good Hope.  The most South western point of Africa.  Many people thought this is the most southern point of Africa, but if you look at the map closely is not.  Either way, I am glad that I was there!  If you are planning to come for a visit, I would suggest you to come by driving or taking one of the local tours that they offered in cape town. Believe me, your journey there will be more enjoyable and less hassle if you do so.  Unless, you are interested in biking or hiking to there.
