Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope

Continuing my tour of the Cape (see previous post)... 
Here are some of my favorite photos from the lighthouse on Cape Point and the walk/hike down to the Cape of Good Hope. Some tour guides say this is where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet, but it's actually a couple of hours away. Nevertheless, I had a hard time editing down to a few photos, because the place is just. so. beautiful.
Enjoy.

Not much to see from the Point on a foggy day.

Walking the boardwalk across rocky cliffs to the Cape of Good Hope.





There are people walking on those rocks that sweep toward the ocean.





When I got to the top of the Cape of Good Hope, there were a couple of kids piling rocks into little towers. I have no idea if they built all of these or were just adding their own, but the little art installation was quite a contrast to the breathtaking views, crashing waves and craggy cliffs.
