Cape Town






So I just spent the last 45 minutes here, trying to give a synopsysis of the last few days. Uploaded a pic, didn't like the placement, tried to delete it and the entire friggin' post was gone. No way to retrieve it. Dennis went down to the gym for a while and is back, so we're going into town. So now I'll see if I can give the details of the last 24 hours withhout screwing it up.
Sadly left Zulu Nyala yesterday at 8:30 am and took a ninety minute noon flight from Richard's Bay to Johannesburg. Left Johannesburg at 3:15 and arrived at Cape Town in the pouring rain. Hasn't rained here in hundreds of years ( well, maybe that's a bit of an exageration) and it decides to do it now. I guess we're good luck for the South African people. They are really grateful for the weather. We'll make the best of it.
Get to the Radisson Blu via a driver who met us at the airport, check in, and go upstairs. Uh-oh. No electricity on one side of the room. Call maintenance, long story, they give us another room, but not as nice---I'm tired, hungry and pouting. We decide to try and make the best of it and hit the hay at 9:00---without getting dinner. Dennis wakes me up at 8am---not too happy, as one of the lights over the mirror is out. He was going downstairs to see what he could do. Comes back not 5 minutes later, and tells me we're moving yet again. But he saw the room and said I'd love it. He was right.

See...

Ok-I still have to figure out how to place the photos on here but the idea is there....I love our room.
Off too explore....
