Johannesburg to Cape Town

We slept pretty well albeit uncomfortable and woke up with 90 minutes to go. For an 11 hour flight this was really good for us.
Once we had landed in Cape Town we rushed to customs with our hand luggage, went almost straight through with no hold ups and then went to baggage retrieval.
We waited and waited, 5 minutes went by and then 10 and just when we thought our case hadn’t made it it came up the travellator and we grabbed it with a sigh of relief.
Now we had no time to spare and we ran to internal departures and rechecked our case in to Safair and then watched it go off again. This was the real test. Would it get through South African customs? Although it was an internal flight.
We boarded the plane at 11:30am and it was another 2 hour flight to Cape Town. I slept pretty much most of the way.
Once we got to Cape Town there was no customs and we waited and waited for our case and again after 10 minutes it came up the travelator.
We had made it and it was a great relief to now have proper tools and all the equipment to make ourselves off grid, our next stop was a steers restaurant to get food and then we went to the car park to get collected by Tanya, one of the workers from African overlanders to go and get to our car.
We arrived at African overlanders at 4pm. Our car and caravan looked good and the car started first time. We were a little disappointed that mould had started to grow in parts of the caravan and our pillows were ruined but it was just going to take some cleaning and wiping. It could have been a lot worse and we have 3 days before we move into it.
Our first job was to open the caravan up and get some air around it and then we drove to chequers for bare essentials, we finally got back and to our room at 6pm and thus is when we stopped for the day. It had been hectic and stressful but we and all of our stuff had made it.Meer informatie
