And... it may have taken 10yrs but we are finally in Africa!!
We arrived in Cape Town this morning at 11.10am and made our way into the city to our hotel.
We spent the afternoon wandering around the city centre and taking the cable car up Table Mountain. Unfortunately the smog from the city is very thick in Cape Town but the views from the mountain were still spectacular. We walked around the plateau for a while taking in as many angles as possible before heading back into the city.
Back in the city we visited the Castle of Good Hope which was built by the Dutch East India Company in 1666 and is the oldest building in South Africa.
Then Jack had his first African haircut... and well, lets just say his words were “it looks like it was cut by the council!”. We perhaps should have found time to get him a haircut in Europe :-).... luckily his hair grows fast.
Tomorrow we start our 60 day journey to Rwanda.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteFabbo blog! Have loved keeping up with your travels. Maarten lives in Alkmaar - you just missed his house in the photo - its round the corner from the square on the canal. How funny! Hope Africa is awesome - we had a ball. Can't wait to see you at home - though a long way to go yet! Go the mighty Hawks,
Gin XX.
