The 43 day overland part from Nairobi to Capetown with Acacia of my "Africa on tour" is over. Will update later when I get home what Namibia was like besides the sand, sand and more sand.
PS I have added extra entries of the whole journey once home when uploading the photos / videos of this wonderful 2 month in Africa.
Brother Tim flew in from London and we have a week together in southern South Africa.
Today was Capetown Day. Don't try and climb Table Mountain in the morning (just 1.25 hours up and 1.5 hours down .... oh the knees and toes) and then climb the steps up to Cape Point lighthouse in the afternoon on the same day ... Both done and hopefully tomorrow my muscles won't be that sore as they are now.
Glad I have done both things ... now onwards towards the Garden Route with brother Tim tomorrow after a visit to Robben Island at 9 am.
But a surprise is installed for us tomorrow am.
