Cape Town.More  pictures of the peninsula.

This is called, you guessed it "Long Beach"

Cape Town, South Africa.

We had an uneventful 23 hours flying to Cape Town, South Africa.

After a good nights sleep at the immaculate Breakwater Lodge, we hit the waterfront for some shopping and a helicopter ride to get a bird’s eye view of the two oceans, vineyards and Chapman’s Peak.I love helicopter rides.

I find these next 2 shots fascinating.  What a cool looking ship. My new Cannon PowerShot works well.

Here, we are flying above the peninsula

Further inland, areas can be densely populated.  In this shot near the middle, you could see a shanty town.  People there live in tiny shacks as that is all they can muster.  They use old highway billboard signs as a roof and some use car tires to keep the roof in place. The government has an initiative in helping the people find better homes but it is taking too long…

One of several roads we will explore.

Time to take inventory and decide what to pack.

Can't Wait

It's been a few years since I rode to the southernmost point in South America. Now I can't wait to ride to the southernmost point in Africa. It is one of many exciting places Donna and I will visit on our tour.

It's getting so close!!!

It's starting to sink in! Only one more week of work left before we leave on an African Adventure by motorcycles. This trip has been a while in the planning, but is finally here. Final checklists to go over and last minute items to add.
