... have hitched rides from other hikers, but with 14 of us it would have required quite a few rides. The taxis showed up and whisked us the 2 miles back to the Cape Diamond Hotel where Suzan and Sophia were waiting in the lobby. As I emerged from the taxi Sophia spotted me through the window and I could read her lips, “Daddy, Daddy!” When I walked into the lobby she excitedly said, “Daddy, I missed you so much! I was worried ...

... beer and celebrate, and then you go to bed. When you wake up in the morning, you don't have to go anywhere, or do anything, you certainly don't have to cook anyone's breakfast....it just takes some getting used to.<br><br>I spent a few days in Cape Town. Allowing myself only 3 days was a big mistake, there's so much to see and do. Restaurants to check out, waves to surf, mountains to hike.....I said my good-byes, and then I flew home. Determined to return.<br>

... went out for a brief bit on Long Street. I actually turned it early but not before I met some people going on an ov**land Cape Town to Cairo trip!!! It takes 4 months and costs about 4,000 US dollars. It sounded amazing. They camp and cook their own food along the way. Th**e is anoth** transcontinental africa trip which is 11 months and down the west coast of Africa and up the East coast!! That is CRAZY!!! That would be a long time w/o a nice bed!! to be continued......

... as I'm not talking and displaying my accent I suppose). My first professor for my religion course is actually American but I could tell that he has been living in South Africa for some time now by the way he spoke (not accent but otherwise) and the topics he brought up. At first I was kind of annoyed because I wanted a South African professor so that I can get a better feel for that, but he actually seems really smart ...

... the pack was starting to leave. When he was outside the jeep the biggest buffalo got up and started wiping his horns in the grass (what he does when a lion tries to attack) I think that terrified me the most out of the whole trip! He didn't charge us tho thank goodness because I don't think we would have survived those huge horns. After all the buffalo had cleared out we all jumped out of the car and managed to get us out of the mud safety. What a way to end the trip!

... game! England's Manchester United was playing Johannesburg's Kaizer Chiefs right here at Newlands Stadium which is literally a few minutes walk from Main Rd. Newlands has extremely nice fields for cricket and rugby, but the stadium for soccer is a bit more "rustic". Still really awesome though. Chiefs were leading 1-0 until the last 15minutes of the 2nd half. The match ended 1-1. Some of the pictures included are of: the stadium, the teams out on the ...

... is gorgeous to say the least. The drive there and back takes you over a small hill between two mountains and with the ocean surrounding everything, the vistas are straight from a postcard. If not for Christine's sobering tales of being broken into a few times, I would have started to look for a places to live right away! Back in the 'city bowl' as downtown is called, we continue with ...

Ciudad del Cabo. Cape Town en lo que sigue, ya que aqui todo el mundo la llama asi, incluso el guia argentino que me ha recogido en el aeropuerto. Si preguntas a cualquiera que haya estado aqui, te dira que es una maravilla de ciudad. La perla de Africa. Nada que envidiar a cualquier ciudad europea. Preciosa, colonial, dinamica, con miles de cosas que ver y hacer. Nadie, nadie que haya conocido hasta ahora, me ha hablado mal de Cape Town. Incluso los ultimos ...

... going out. Safe, I'm sure. It was my turn to inch up to the door, and I was instructed to fold my feet under the airplane. So let's recap. I am 9,000 feet in the air, held only by a man who might actually weigh less than me, sitting on the edge of an airplane door with my feet folded under the plane. Got that picture? Ok good. Finally the videogropher jumps, and my tandem jumper scoots me forward so that I am completely dangled out of the plane. I am ...

... Leggs even at that early hour. This was followed by many glasses of very nice wine at four different locations plus the one at lunch. I was even able to appreciate some delightful white wine - Le Beryl blanc - look out for it. The best red wine was probably the port, otherwise known as fortified red wine - Fortified Earth. The tour guide Robbie (Cape Wine Tours) was excellent and very funny; great at slagging off the ...
