On our way to the Cape of Good Hope, we ran into this family of baboons. Supposedly, you can really separate the tourists from the locals if you watch how they react to baboons. Here, they are seen a a huge nuisance (they really like to jump on your car and steal purses) and the locals avoid them at all cost. For tourists (aka, ME) baboons are the coolest thing we've seen since, well, the penguins down the road. So I took about a 120 pictures of them. Fortunately, the baboons were much less interested in the pink VW bug than they were the bus load of Chinese tourists who decided to get OUT of their cars and walk right up to them. We made it through without incident.
