Scavenger Hunt Time part 1

You may remember in an earlier post I talked about a Summer scavenger hunt over on Rhinda's blog. Well I printed off the list & set the children on the hunt for the items whilst we were in South Africa. So this is the first instalment of found items :)
All these items were found in & around Cape Town.
4)Airplane - taken at Heathrow Terminal 5.
5)Sunset - this was taken one evening at Camps Bay whilst we sat in a cafe over looking the sea.

9)Something that is out of place - A penguin on Boulders Beach!! I never would have believed this if I hadn't seen it myself.

7)A sign that is unintentionally funny - This sign tickled us! Please look under your vehicle for penguins.

12)A cloud in the shape of something - Can you see the flying bird here in the centre? beak on the right, wings out stretched, tail pointing left ?

6)Someone taking a nap - my two cat napping on the ferry to Robben Island. 

16)Windmill - Apologies for this poor photo but this was something we never dreamed of spotting in SA & it was beside a motorway so my Son managed to get this pic from a speeding car! On further investigation it is Mosterts Mill built 1796 & the only complete windmill in South Africa.

I'll continue this another time as we have till september 21st to find all the listed items x

  11. Really like that sign - I did know there were penguins in SA but never thought you'd have to look under your car. Great shot on the windmill too.
