Wednesday 23rd January - Cape Town


Due to me being disorganised and not realising that the tour I begin this Sunday covers a trip to the top of Table Mountain, we re-organised ourselves and travelled around the South Western Tip of Africa. This included a range of mountains stretching from Signal Hill in the north to Cape Point in the south and the seas and coastline of the peninsula. The narrow stretch of land with its valleys, bays and beaches is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the warmer waters of False Bay and has within its boundaries two world-renowned landmarks - Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope.

Finally arrived in Cape Town, South Africa

After a delayed departure from Heathrow, an unexpected stop over in Frankfurt I have finally arrived in Cape Town, South Africa. Spent most of today relaxing and enjoying the warm weather. Tomorrow I am off to Cape Town's most famous landmark and one of the city's greatest attractions, Table Mountain. Not looking forward to travelling to the top of the mountain by a revolving cable car, but apparently it takes you to the top in a just a few minutes. Beats hiking to the top which can take up to five hours!

Five days to go and counting

In five days I will begin my journey flying from London Heathrow to Cape Town, South Africa. Once in South Africa I will be spending a week with family and then starting my tour. My tour covers Namibia, Botswana & Zimbabwe and finishes in Johannesburg on the 17th February. From Johannesburg I fly onto Sydney, Australia. I am now going to try once again to pack for my trip. If anyone has ideas how a female manages to squeeze everything including the kitchen sink into her back pack please let me know!
