MONDAY 4TH - CAPETOWN

As I am typing this, I can hear the sound of traffic outside our window. We haven't had that for more than three weeks. We are comfortably settled in Capetown and are here for two nights before flying home.

Our hotel is so close to Table Mountain that I can't get a complete photo of it but I can photograph some bits, one of which is shrouded in cloud, apparently quite a common occurrence. We are booked on a City Tour tomorrow morning which includes Table Mountain if visible. If not, the cable car doesn't run. Hopefully I can find a vantage point from which to get a better shot.

We spent most of today on the highway with a minor detour through some more spectacular country to visit a Rooibus tea plantation. Quite interesting but not on a par with the many fantastic experiences we have had in the last three weeks.

We have seen the last of The Beast and have our final dinner tonight. Hopefully we can keep in touch with the delightful people we have been travelling with. There is talk of a reunion tour of a different part of Africa in 2019.
