  • Favorite Thing: Hey guys , just a general tip about the winter season. Well Cape Town`s rainy season is in winter so you just imagine how miserable it is.

    It rains all day , very misty in the mornings , there is strong winds that blows and the one thing that I hated most is the fact that the sun takes so long to rise there compare to JNB.

    The sun rises after 7am which I hate it because if you live there you go to bed when its dark and you get up to go work went its dark....... Don`t like waking up when its dark.

    General Tips: 2 Seperate Parking Bays at Boulders Beach

  • Favorite Thing: When visiting Boulders Beach note that there is 2 parking area`s. One Parking area is where there is no penguins on the beach. You got to walk about 400m between the houses where you`ll come out to the area where the Penguin cologny is. You can walk further 200m from there to the beach with the penguins where you`ll be able to swim there. The other parking spot is at the entrance of the beach where you can swim at the same beach with the penguins.

    Just remember to keep your ticket that you paid for at the section of Penguin Cologny as this will provide you entrance to the Penguin beach. The path is clearly marked with sign boards and the walk way is a wooded pathway.

     Coke if you stay in Cape Town permanantly you can leave comments like this.Cape Town is better than JHB and no matter wheere you go in JHB you are a target.Some of the best areas that you can go visit is on the Cape Flats with warm an friendly people.
