Our Simon’s Town Chacma baboon troop ( some 20 individuals, led by the alpha male) together with his harem of females, some babies piggy backing & playful juveniles, marched up our road this morning.

They were on the lookout for raiding opportunities much to our guests delight. (They followed the Baboons at a safe distance.) They found a neighbours window open & proceeded to warily enter the house, only to almost immediately be ejected by the terrified occupant.

Although fascinating to watch, Baboons present a problem in Simon’s Town & although NOT dangerous unless cornered, they can be very destructive if they manage to gain entry into a house.

There is tons to do while on holiday in Simon’s Town

Rae, the Son of our Japanese Embassy guests, had a very successful day fishing out in False Bay.

He rushed upstairs & gushed,

“Come and see the huge fish I caught!”

To this ten year old’s delight, he caught a Yellowtail & Longfin Tuna, both of which he had difficulty lifting for the obligatory photos.

Our keen fisherman subsequently caught Calamari & Rock Lobster, that together with his prize fish, (frozen rock hard in our neighbours deep freeze), he took back all the way to Pretoria.

It was a great day for fishing.

Simonstown harbour hosts a number of businesses offering fishing excursionsinto False Bay for holiday makers and locals alike.
