South Africa
Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa! Jen and I bundled the kids onto an airplane for the 20+ hours of flight time it takes to get here. It's a lot of travel, but the first day here in Cape Town made it all worthwhile!
Things we've done already:
- The V&A Waterfront
- The Two Oceans Aquarium
- An incredible sunset sailboat tour
- Biltong
Things we still plan to do:
- The Table Mountain Cable Car
- The Robben Island Tour
- Franschhoek
- A Braai (They practically worship the grill here! Not that I blame them.)
- Tilky & Dino's Wedding
- The Garden Route
Lessons learned:
- Order alcohol on South American Airways -- they don't charge extra, like they do in the States!
- Leave a lot more time to clear the passport line when you arrive in country! We had a connecting flight scheduled two hours after our arrival in Johannesburg, and only made it by some aggressive line jumping!
More to come, I'm sure!
