Today it was too windy for the boat to go out so we decided to go to see penguins at Rocky Point, about an hour's drive from Kleinbaai. It took us a while to find the right place but it was worth it when we did! There were lots of penguins sitting on the rocks and hiding in bushes! The ones in the bushes were sitting on eggs and, in fact, we came across a pair of penguins mating - quite a spectacle!
We had lunch in Hermanus and then we went into the township in Gansbaai to help at the swap-shop that the White Shark Project run. The local kids collect recyclable rubbish (cans, bottles etc) and bring them along. These are swapped for points and they can use the points to get toys, pens, pencils, clothes and many other things. The recyclable materials are taken to a recycling bank where they get some money and they use this to buy stuff for the swap-shop. It was great fun and, once again, the kids were great!!
We went to the pub for a beer and then back to the house where we have spent the rest of the day chatting, internetting, eating and we are about to watch a DVD!
