Arrived safe and well in Africa

---

Arrived safely in Cape Town on the Emerites air bus (380-600) along with 500 other people:A short stay in Dubai. Then finally in Cape Town and onto Simons Town skirting Table mountain but taking in Hout Bay and Chapmans peak. Our first acommodation is in a lovely apartment with the balcony overlooking the Indian ocean ....amazing views!! Pictures to follow when we have figured out how to transfer them!! .....do have some good ones though!

Our first three days have been spent 'chilling' and taking in some sites....swimming on a safe beach a few hundred yards away and watching others swim (Fish Heok) where its not so safe when they remove the shark nets!! Not for us no thank you!!!

Simons town is an old colonial naval base and has some beautiful buildings and pretty harbour where we went for lunch at the yacht club. Lots of nice relaxing eating going on and had an evening meal watching the penguins on the beach

Well time to go another day ahead of us ....swimming then later to Cape point where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic meet... Xx

Interesting facts: 1. Since June 2008 the A380 Airbus has flown 20 million kilometres = 27 trips to the moon.
