Travel Day Hippo Lakes to Cape Town

It was an early morning wake up (5 AM). We had to finish packing and be ready to be picked up by 6:45 AM.

We had breakfast at 7:00 AM. This morning we were served omletes. They were by far the best omletes that I have every had!

After a leisure breakfast, we boarded our van for the four plus hour drive to J'Burg. Anton was our skilled driver.

It was absolutley FREEZING in J'Burg. Our gate was like a wind tunnel. We opted to have a lunch as far away from our gate as possible.

When it was time to board, we made our way back to the wind tunnel. We were all scrambling to put on any and all garments that we had in our carry on luggage.

As we walked down the gangway, it was so cold that I could see my breath! We later found out that it snowed in J'Burg enough that people were able to make snowmen!

We had a smooth flight to Cape Town and were met at the airport by Yazeed. He quickly escorted us to our awaiting vehicle.

We made the approximately 20 minute journey to out hotel.

Jenni suggested that we quickly unpack and meet for dinner in 30 minutes.

Dinner was lovely.

We turned in early for a much needed rest.Read more
