We went to Simons Town today! It was a straight one-hour train ride from Rosebank. The train tracks are right next to the ocean, which provides beautiful views. Sometimes sand gets blown on the tracks and the train has to stop and everyone has to get off - luckily that did not happen today!
Simons Town was the first naval base in Africa. Now it is a little historical town with a cute main street and delicious seafood. We had the best fish and chips ever at Bertha’s restaurant seated right by the water’s edge. A naval festival was going on this weekend with fun music playing, vendors selling food and knick knacks, tours being given on the old navy ships, and an airplane show. We had a perfect viewing of the air show while we were eating lunch.
After walking around the naval festival we walked along the main street looking in the touristy shops and buying ice cream. The rest of my housemates went home, and then Cindy and I continued walking to Boulders Beach because she had not seen the penguins yet. She went into the park and I just strolled along the board walk, enjoying the few stray penguins and the perfect weather.
