Simon's Town and the African Penguins [01:11]
Simon's Town (Simonstown) with its pretty Victorian houses and the harbour. On the Cape Peninsula near Cape Town, South Africa. A boardwalk leads along the beach to the town's greatest attraction - the penguin colony at Foxy Beach and Boulders Beach. Once threatened by extinction, there are nowadays 3000 breeding pairs of African Penguins living and nesting here. The Beach is protected by huge round granite boulders. Seamed by Milkwood thicket, providing the penguins with an ideal breeding habitat. Swimming is allowed at Boulders Beach. Sometimes people and penguins can be seen together in the clear shallow water.

SIMON, OARSMAN EXTRAORDINAIRE [04:23]
When an old sculling oarsman takes to whitewater the results could be startling. For better or for worse, Simon Barber (aka Mr Brand South Africa, Washington USA) took time off his onerous country reputation management duties to turn his hand to oarboating on the Vaal River. He managed his own rowing reputation pretty well. The day was hot, the river very low, and the wind in our faces nearly made us cry. But Simon managed it all with aplomb and rowed to the bitter end, only cursing a few times as hidden rocks or gusts of wind stopped his progress. We've included a clip of the Vaal at high water a year ago to show what this river can really be like... Send us more like Simon! Graeme yeeha@riverman.co.za (+27) 84 245 2490
