    Sharks and penguins

    Our final task in Cape Town was to collect our car, a white Citroen that at time of writing we've yet to name; 'The Great White’ has been mooted but so far nothing has stuck. Driving in Cape Town (remember: an CT is an area, not a just a city) is pretty straightforward. Like the Brits, South Africans also drive on the left, there’s less …

We spoiled ourselves - our hostel had lots of hot water available, comfy beds, and all the green salad and fruits we could eat without having to worry about where it came from or if it was washed! …
