Travel Day

Today it was time to leave the condo in Pretoria and head off to Cape Town for the last leg of the trip. Hard to believe we've only been in South Africa for 7 days, considering all we've done, but we headed back to the airport to drop the car off and get on our flight. The flight itself was...

Cape Town!

We're in Cape Town! Sadly, our final destination on our adventure. I've got full internet access now, so photos and videos will be up soon. Cheers!

Days 15 and 16... Quiet days, and busier evenings...

As with every other day, I got up at 12 and had a breakfast... The Breakfast Special at The Castle is 12.50 Rand (about $1.75) and is a full breakfast... Even locals think it's cheap... It usually finishes at 11:30, but as I was staying there, so Naadia gave me some grace. Played Zaid in a...

Day 13... The wineries of the Cape... and disaster in Durban...

Woke up at 8:00 as I had to be waiting downstairs and ready between 8:30 and 8:45. Was waiting down there and no-one came. I thought this would be a disaster and when Naadia informed me that he had gone to the wrong hotel and he was on his way, I had even less confidence. When the guide, Aubrey,...

Day 12... A quiet one...

Nothing really happened today... Spent the day walking around the city and exploring... Walked from the backpackers place through the City to the Waterfront and had a bit of a look around. The V&A Waterfront is much like waterfront locations in many places around the world. Lots of shops,...

Day 11... Ayoba!

The day came, the World Cup started, and South Africa was ready... Heaving, in fact... Woke up at about 10 and went for a walk around the Fan Fest. These are viewing locations that have been set up in each of the match cities that show every single game live and on an enormous screen. It...

Day 10... Cape Town first day...

Woke up at about 7 to get this 10:00 flight... The driver came and we took about half of the expected time to get to the airport, so I was stuck waiting there for about 2 hours... I found a Wi-Fi hotspot, and did a little web browsing and waited for my flight... Boarded, and the flight was...

Trains, Planes and a sleeping Swede

Well I think it might be best to cut a long story short! Yesterday at half eleven I got into a car, then I got onto a train, after 3 hours I got onto the tube, then I got onto another train. Then I arrived at Heathrow airport. By this point I already felt as though I had travelled long enough...
