They're a fun tourist attraction for visitors, but for Rooi Els locals the local troupe of marauding, emboldened baboons are no laughing matter, grabbing anything that looks like food given half a chance. With them being smart enough to open doors, this poor lady sacrificed her packet of chips to get this cheeky male out of her space. (I held on to my purchase by staring him down and hiding the stuff behind my back when they came for me!). Shopowners are all primed with sticks and slingshots to scare these customer robbers away, and indeed they currently have a hired guard for just this purpose patrolling the area by the shop and eateries as you enter the settlement. Don't feed the baboons, you just encourage this behaviour! #baboon #capebaboon #chacmababoon #rooiels #clarencedrive #kogelbergbiosphere #southafrica

Another tough Winter's day out here along the edge of False Bay. 😉 Views from Clarence Drive thanks to today's public holiday. #scenicdrive #falsebay #steenbrasnaturereserve #kogelberg #kogelbergbiosphere #clarencedrive #gordonsbay #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican

Making the most of yet another gloomy Winter's day out here in the Strand 😉 #beach #strandbeach #strand #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican

Soft serve ice cream from 'N Ice inbetween all the Lifesaving South Africa Inter-Provincial Championships action this afternoon. #icecream #softserve #softserveicecream #niceicecream #strandpromenade #beach #strandbeach #strand #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican

The girls and I spent the afternoon on the beach watching day 2 of the Lifesaving South Africa Inter Provincials take place. With the pool events having taken place at Coetzenburg in Stellenbosch yesterday, today it was the Strand Surf Lifesaving Club who hosted the exciting big provincial showdown in the waves and on the sands of Strand Beach! #lifesaving #lifesavingsport #lifesavingsouthafrica #interprovincial #lifesavingsa #strandsurflifesavingclub #strandbeach #strand #helderberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican

Just in case you thought the girls go out exploring with me for the plain old love of being out with their dad. Yeah right! 😅 #bribe #mcflurry #mcflurryoreo #mcdonalds #stellenbosch #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican
