The diet before Christmas

posted by Paul
"Sidney insisted on a diet of leaves and twigs before the Christmas feast."

Kerry-Anne and I took my mom and dad out for lunch in Simon's Town today. We stopped over at Boulders Beach to watch the African (aka Blackfooted, aka Jackass) Penguins for a while.

The conservation area, part of Table Mountain National Parks, charges a small fee to visit the 3000-strong penguin colony. If you have a half hour to spare then I'd say that the visit is absolutely worth your time.

I am glad it is tourist supported and that people just stop and look. Nice photo.
