Our last full day in Cape Town. There's just so much to do in Cape Town you could probably spend a few more days here.  One of the things we decided to do was to swim with the seals at Strawberry Rocks. We went with Adrenalised Diving to get to the seal colony, about 30 minutes away by boat, and with all the gear (including a 5.5 mm wetsuit, a 2 mm short suit, a hood, mask and snorkel, fins and wetsuit shoes, and gloves -  you could tell this was going to be cold!). There were 6 of us on this tour. The boat was a fast boat with straddle seats which made for fun while jetting along over the chop. Kate described it as a theme park ride. Along the way we got a glimpse of the African Penguin which is now endangered due to overfishing, eggs being collected as a delicacy and guano mining. We saw a couple of penguins in the water which was pretty special. Once at Strawberry Rocks, we got all our gear on, jumped in (it was a balmy 10 degrees celsius) and swam from rock to rock. The colony is separated into 3 large rocks - the first has the juveniles, the second has the adults and the third has all the old retirees. We drifted with the current from rock to rock to see the seals jump in the water and dart around below us. They're pretty inquisitive so they came quite close. Visibility was pretty good too - the Cape Doctor apparently blows all the plankton away. The water was sooooo cold - even with all the gear on, our hands were iceblocks after about 5 minutes. There was also quite a bit of chop on the surface so we felt a little bit sea sick - in fact, Calvin even regurgitated some breakfast to feed the seals. Being cold and wet was pretty exhausting and made us hungry so we had amazing burgers from Woodies at the V & A Waterfront Food Market, and hot chips of course, before heading home for Kate's powerful power nap. Then off to Lion's Head to finally climb to the top now that Kate's shoes were all fixed! It was pretty hot and slow going - we were still fatigued from the morning efforts of befriending seals. We started off at 3 pm and reached the summit at 4:38 pm and back down by 6:30 pm. The views are incredible from up top and well worth the climb. The walk itself isn't hard and there are a few ladders to go up - it's also a pretty walk with sights of Cape Town every step of the way. About 20 minutes into the walk, Kate's infamous feet strike again. This time, the backs of the soles of both boots started to come away!! Fortunately, we had the roll of duct tape (best $9 ever spent). Teeth didn't really cut it but we had sporks (thanks Ruth and Mathias) to cut the tape and stick the back of the boots and they made it all the way up and all the way down. Refreshed at the top with carrot sticks and biltong. Another trip to the cobbler at the waterfront and Kate walking around the shops barefoot. Nice man from Mombasa who said he could stitch up the boots immediately and have them ready in an hour which was excellent! Our last meal in Cape Town consisted of take away from an asian outlet - it only took 50 minutes for this "fast food" to arrive. Calvin had to get KFC popcorn chicken to stop him getting hangry. It was sad to say goodbye to Cape Town but off to Namibia tomorrow!
