Our journey started in Eugene, OR, then travelled through Seattle, WA, to Atlanta, GA. From there we flew to CapeTown via Ilha Do Sal (a tiny island in the Cape Verde islands off the West coast of Africa.) Normally the flight from Atlanta to CapeTown is a direct flight of about 13 hours, but due to a technical issue we refuelled at Sal adding some 4 hours to the flight time. Our transit time was some 34 hours.
This time we mainly toured the Cape Province which is located in the Southern tip of the African continent. Besides visiting CapeTown and surrounding areas, we did make a side trip to the Southeastern coastal region that took us through pretty arid areas. The scenery varied greatly and included spectacular mountains, beautiful coast and lush vegitation contrasted with semi-desert scenes. The weather was mostly sunny and hot.
The Cape region is known for its rich fauna and flora and especially its wines. We made the best of the opportunity to taste and enjoy wonderful wines.
