Cape town

"Hubby, come on let's go." Lacey said rushing into their bedroom. Lacey and her husband had decided to visit cape Town for a week, her husband has been a lot busier for the past few months so they both thought that it was best for them to visit Cape Town since they hadn't been there before. "No, you can go on your own just let me sleep." He said, pulling the white silky blanket over his head. He had been sleeping for the whole day(He felt like he deserved his sleep, he barely had time to sleep for the past few months, it was always work, work, work. "What is the matter with, you have been sleeping for the whole day. Wake up, you'll sleep at night." She said shaking him. "It's not like you are going to let me sleep at night." He said, from underneath the blanket. "What do you mean?"She asked raising her eyebrow. "You keep wanting us to make love, even if I'm tired." He said. "As far as I know you are the one who keeps on wanting us to make love, not me. So it is your fault not mine, now get up." She said. "Whatever, just let me sleep." He said. "Honey, it's time for the penguins to show up." She sad, they were at the beautiful Boulders Beach in Cape Town who's is the most visited beaches and the only place in the world where you get close to African Penguins. Lacey wanted to get close to them and take pictures of them but her husband was just too lazy to accompany her, but when they got here last night he promised her that he would go with her and he would help her take pictures of them, but now all he wants to do is sleep. What Lacey loves about cape Town is that it has no shortage of Amazing beaches, but boulders beach in False bay offers something extra special, a colony of African penguins in all their smartly dresses, waddling glory and the beauty they have is just amazing. Lacey had heard a lot about African penguins including that in 1982 a couple of penguins settled on the soft white sand between the large granite boulder's that protect the beach from wind and large stormy waves. Sadly the African penguins have been classified as an endangered species, due to things like, overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution, irresponsible activities and the boulders beach colony has also felt the effect with numbers dwindling over the last couple of years.

Thankfully Boulders and it's surrounding beaches now part of the beautiful and unique Table mountain National Park marine protected Area, thus ensuring beaches are safe and clean and the lovely penguins are protected.

"Just get up, I'm not asking you I'm telling you, now get your ass up." She said, removing the blanket from over his body. And he instantly felt the cool breeze and he thought of lying to Lacey, telling her that he is feeling cold, but he decided not to because he knew that she would force him to go anyway, that is just how Lacey was she didn't take no for an answer. "Fine, fine. Let's go." He said giving up and getting up from the Simmons Evolve Plush Bed. He really wanted to sleep some more but knowing his wife she wasn't going to let him sleep. "Come on hurry up, I can't wait to see the penguins." She said rushing downstairs and her husband followed.

When they got there Lacey just jjumped up and down with excitement from seeing the beautiful penguins. "These beautiful penguins couldn't be any cuter, wow and seeing them in this wild is the proper way to encounter a penguin." She said excitedly, her husband just looked at her rolling his eyes, thinking that she did nit notice it but she did. "What is wrong with you, don't think that I will let you go back to sleep if you look uninterested, I'll just force you to be interested." She said. 'That's what you get for getting married to a feisty, strong willed woman, but hey I love it.' he thought. Despite what people keep on saying about his wife he still loves and adores her, she is just different.

" Here take this camera, and start taking pictures,they better be good." She said. Giving him a look that said' If you screw up you are dead meat'. He exhaled heavily and he took the camera from her hand. The penguins were a lot more beautiful than she thought, they had black stripes and a pattern of unique black spots on their chests, as well as pink glands above their eyes that become pinker as the penguin gets hotter. Males are larger than females and have larger beaks. She watched as they walked around, they just made the whole beach even more beautiful. Lacey's husband started taking pictures as instructed by his wife. Apaet from the penguins Lacey also likes looking out at the watery horizon while listening to the waves crash into the boulders which creates a peaceful backdrop for this experience. These penguins (which are wild) seem so happy in their natural habitat(Who wouldn't be happy)

"Wow, hubby look at how beautiful they are, let's take a picture with them." She yelled from where she was and walked to where she was and he took a picture of the two of them with the penguins behind them. He really liked seeing his wife like this, happy, free, energetic and not worrying about anything in this world, just enjoying herself. She kissed him on the cheak. "I love you a lot hubby." She said. "I love you more babe." He said with a smile on his face. "OMG! Look at those ones over there." She pointed at the penguins that were swimming. "Aren't they gorgeous." She said. Walking a bit closer to them. She found one on the beach sand and she started patting it and the penguin liked it. Its body felt slippery, soft, sleek and smooth on her hand. Her husband took pictures of her patting the penguin.

It was 8pm and they were both already at their beach house. They were both in the kitchen making dinner. "Wow, I had such a wonderful time today." She said sighing happily. "Yeah, we should come here more often because you are clearly going to miss this place." He said. "Hey hubby, we should visit the table mountain tomorrow okay." She said. "But I thought that we were going to rest tomorrow." He said sighing dramatically. "Stop being lazy.". She said.

After they were done eating, they went to their bedroom to sleep. They bot got on bed. "Hey babe, can I tell you something." He said looking at his beautiful wife on his right side, in his eyes this woman looks beautiful in anything and anytime. "Yeah what is it." she said. "I would like for us to have another child." He said. Lacey looked at him, surprised. She was not expecting this and she thought that they were both done with making babies. "Goodnight." She said, pulling the blanket over her head. Her husband was surprised, he was waiting for an answer instead she just Saud goodnight and pulled the blanket over her head. 'What us wrong with this woman' He thought to himself, he could never really tell what it is that was happening in this woman's mind.
