Day 306  June 7 2015  Cape Town  South Africa


We went to Hout Bay and took a boat tour to Seal Island where we saw a colony of seals playing in the water and relaxing on the rocks.  In the harbour there was a man who has been feeding the seals and training them to jump out of the water to take food from his hands or mouth.  He has been doing it for 7 years and makes his living from tips.  Isabel wanted to stay longer to watch him with the seals but we made her leave as it was time to continue our tour.  We then drove along the coast back to Cape Town with a few stops at some lookouts to take pictures.  When we got back to Cape Town we stopped at the Two Oceans Aquarium.  It is a nice aquarium with a really nice penguin exhibit and a decent selection of fish.  We finished the day at the Blow Fish restaurant as they had ½ price sushi; it was good.
