Cape Town

Cape Town is located in the Western Cape province which is almost a 17 hour drive from Johannesburg but thankfully I flew. It is one of Africa's most popular tourist destinations. And is one of the most beautiful places I have been to! My pictures do not do any justice to the beauty of this city...

Margie and I were able to go to Cape Town to help with children's ministry. I had the privilege to work alongside Judith, below middle, who is from Zimbabwe. I enjoyed getting to know her and hearing her many stories of how God has been faithful in bringing her to Cape Town to get her masters of theology degree from Cape Town Seminary. She was such a delight! We had fun spending time with the children and teaching them that with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

Margie and I were able to take a morning to go explore Cape Town. We went to see the Jackass Penguins who were given this name for the donkey like sound they make. But there are several other species that make this same noise therefore they have begun referring to them as the African Penguin.

We also went to Table Mountain and took a cable car to the plateau. From the top, you can see much of the city, Table Bay, Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years) and of course the Atlantic ocean.

On top of the mountain you can find many different species of floral including all kinds of proteas which is the national flower of South Africa. Just beautiful!
