Pigwattas! a.k.a -The Penguins of Simon's Town

Kelli and I took a trip to Simon's Town to visit the famous African Penguins of Boulders Beach. We took a train and then a coach bus and an hour later we were in Simon's Town. My ears began to hurt because of the low altitude--I think i could see Antarctica (kidding). It is a quaint little place and the route to Simon's Town reminded me of Santa Barbara; when you're coming from San Diego and you're 40 minutes away driving on the coast. We mistakenly made the long walk towards boulders beach (in non-walking footwear) since we didn't see a taxi in sight. About 20 or so minutes later we arrived to the entrance and paid 35 rand to visit with the lovely penguins...
