South Africa, Cape Town

We didn't organise this trip. It was the first organized tour we had ever taken. 

The company that I work for gave me (as the Godfather would say) "an offer you can't refuse" : a heavily subsidized trip, a car with a GPS, and the only "obligation" was to sleep in their 3 or 4 star lodges.

We jumped on the occasion and we enjoyed a great trip: driving the area of Cape Town, National Parks and going on safaris to see the Big Five. 

These sketches were made in Cape Town. 
The Cape area is huge. We had a rented car to drive around, visit some coastal towns and national parks. We finished the tour in the Cape of Good Hope, a mythical historical place.
These sketches were made in the penguin reserve.
I associate penguins with cold weather, but here they were sun bathing.

In Cape Town there are a bunch of nice colonial buildings. It reminds me of Melbounre

This one was done in the Table Mountain National Park. It shows the "Lion Head" hill and Cape Town Bay
