Cape Town

We had as good a flight as you get in economy, especially considering that we were in a row of  4 seats and there was only the 2 of us. The plane had 100 spare seats compared to the previous day when we were told it was packed. The route took us down the coast to Flinders Island and then on a big parabolic arc towards the Antarctic. Seems you miss the head on effect of the trade Jet Stream by doing that and overall it was 13.5 hours of flying. Our flight to Cape Town was only 2 hours but that was after a 3 hour wait. 

This morning (30th) is overcast and chilly but it is forecast to clear. I am sitting writing this looking out at Table Mountain. Adventure awaits!
