R.A.T. Your Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (a.k.a. Raz)

Hi, My name is R.A.T., which stands for Rodent Around-the-World Traveler (I like to think it stands for Rodent Adventure Traveler), but everyone here calls me Raz for short. I would love to share my adventures with you. I left my rat family in early January to seek adventure. Everyone said "head west young rat," so that is what I did. I headed west to San Diego, California where I ran out of land and had to hop on a ship to continue my journey. It turns out that the ship I found was going west around the world--a dream come true! The MV Explorer is home to the famous Semester at Sea study abroad program. My shipmates include 629 college students and about 150 faculty, staff, lifelong learners, and family members. Things are really busy here on the ship and even busier when we are in port. Come follow me vicariously as I take this incredible journey. Yours, R.A.T.

P.S. I had such a great time on the voyage that the adventure continues!!!!

South Africa - Cape Point - Penguins & the End of the World!

We went down to Cape Point to see the end of the world. On the way we stopped at Boulder Bay to play with the penguins that live there



This guy seemed to be looking for something. Maybe a nice fish lunch.

These guys were just hanging out.

We then headed further south to Cape Point, the very end of the peninsula. Here are its coordinates.
We went up to the Lighthouse.
Here is the view.
We could also look down upon the Cape of Good Hope, the most southwestern point of Africa, which was just down below!
See here is the sign that states that!
