After spending the month of March in Canada a visit to Africa in April was on the cards.  From the Ice to the Desert.

Flying with South African Airways we took off from Brisbane with Virgin via Perth to Johannesburg to Cape Town approx. 22 hours flight.  Johannesburg and Cape Town airports are vast but easy to move around.

Our guides arrived at the airport we filled the bus with our bags and headed off to our Hotel.  Our 2 night stay at the ONE & ONLY hotel Cape Town is situated in a prefect location.  The hotel is close to the waterfront one block away.  It is out of town but great view of Table Mountain.  The waterways that run through the resort is beautifully stunning.  The room OMG.  As we checked out the Hotel our guide showed us the resort and then escorted us to our rooms.  I was sharing with a friend but these rooms.  HUGE!!

We unpacked and had about half an hour to freshen up before we had to meet in the foyer of the hotel.  We were off on a guided walking tour of Cape Town.

We took off on foot listening to our guide.  Full of information on how Cape Town has developed and why the houses are painted in their colours.  The streets were alive with lots of people.  We were told to keep our valuables close.  Many eyes were watching us.  Walking the streets, we found many lovely shops, old buildings listed back to the early 1800s.
