- Warning: This entry may contain an unpleasant storyDuring my time in Africa there has been one blemish on my good time: the hunt.

- Africa – the last continent of our trip :)Travelling to South Africa from New Zealand was one of the journeys I was least looking forward to, given we were going to be spending 18hrs airborne, on two flights. Lee must have just had a guilty look about him Posted by Cass - Lee in Cass & Lee's RTW Adventure | Apr 16, 2012
- Farewell Cape Town :( Thursday is our last day and after a disturbed night’s sleep caused by Mama Africa’s, and a fly buzzing at my ear in the apartment which one time caused me to hit myself, we headed for one last stroll along Posted by cooneys in Simon & Michelle's South Africa Trip | Apr 13, 2012
- Table Mountain – conquered!Hi all On Wednesday morning we woke to blue skies over Table Mountain so we drove to the Taffelberg road that skirts Table Mountain and parked near the lower cable car station which is at 350 metres above sea level.

- Table Mountain had a cloud tableclothHi We were up early today (Tuesday) to hike up Table mountain but mother nature had other ideas. Despite blue skies elsewhere, Table mountain was covered in a blanket of cloud (which didn't clear till 2pm) which mean we couldn't do our Posted by cooneys in Simon & Michelle's South Africa Trip | Apr 10, 2012

- So it does rain in Cape Town...Hi On Saturday we left Franschhoek in the pouring rain and headed on the N1 towards Camps Bay in Cape Town.

- A Good FridayOn Friday we took a road trip to do the '4 passes' drive. The mountains were spectacular and oddly some looked similar to the highlands of Scotland. The Franschhoek pass was particularly impressive and we were surprised to find a family of Posted by cooneys in Simon & Michelle's South Africa Trip | Apr 7, 2012
