I’ve found my favorite beach. Wednesday after class, Conor and I took the train to Simon’s Town, about 45 minutes away. In Simon’s Town is a perfect little place called Boulder’s Beach, home of the African Penguins. We visited Boulder’s Beach during orientation week, but didn’t get to spend much time there. The beaches are peaceful little patches of white sand divided by huge boulders. On some of them you can find about 50 people enjoying the sun and playing in the water while others areas are only large enough to fit a few people- and many penguins of course. Getting from one beach to another proved to be a little tricky, having to climb over and under huge boulders. We basked in the sun, only about 5 feet away from dozens of adorable penguins. The best part was when they would get up, waddle to the water, and dive right in, so you were literally swimming along with them! The water was cold and refreshing, the day was hot and beautiful, and the company of penguins a real treat.
