First Day!
Hello everyone it is currently Friday afternoon (Good Friday) here in Cape Town and things have been good. It was the longest journey ever, over 26 hours in total!
THe trip to Perth was easy, and Coachy met me at the airport where we went into the city to exchange money and get some breakfast. A test run for the Coachy and Troy African adventure tour!!
This was an interesting trip, as we experienced a bad case of road rage (Coachy was a bit too keen to change lanes) on the way into the city centre and then when we were returning to the car Coachy said he has been having some trouble with the car. Sure enough the battery was flat!
We then waited for nearly an hour for RACV to come, lucky I got back to the airport in time to catch my flight.. (just though) A great test run for our adventures through Africa.
THe flight to Johannesberg was very LONG!! I was looking forward to havign a TV screen in the back of each of the seats but this is Africa and all we had was a pissy little screen for us all to share. I sat next to this lady who is originally from Zimbabwe but now lives in South Africa. . Anyway, 14 long hours later I arrived in J'Burg feeling very tired and uncomfortable. GOt through customs and this bloke offered to carry my bags to the domestic terminal so I can catch a flight to Cape Town. It cost me 30 Rand which is about 8 bucks!! I then had a 3 hour wait for that flight which was so looong, IM so over the songs on my IPod already!
I eventually landed in Cape Town at midnight last night and it was great to see Louise there. It was so good to see her again after all this time, she hasnt changed a bit. I met her husband that night and he is a lovely bloke. (Im actually writing this email from her parents house which is a huge property!) THey are off the church this afternoon so I think I might have a rest, still feeling the effects of the long flight.
ANyway, I better go. Will post some photos on here tomorrow
Hope everyone is well and keep in touch.
