3 Travel Days later....
Hi Babes
Flights from Toronto to Frankfurt uneventful. Spotted a few travellers from U of T travelling to Frankfurt from Toronto. You could id them from the baggage tags on their carry-on, avoided them... There's a Mr & Mrs Tilley in all their travel attire ;) And a lady from Pickering who loves to hear herself talk. Someone for Dad to keep entertained :) Checked into the Sheraton hotel and had a nice nap, shower, relaxed. Then back to the airport for the next leg ... Johannesburg. 12 hours later we arrive and collect our bags and transfer them to South African Airlines for the 2 hour trip to Cape Town. Rain here, about 16 C so no tanning weather yet.
Dad's bags didn't arrive; sitting in the lobby now to do this post. Hopefully it will arrive later so we can go to bed. Early breakfast and be on the bus by 8;15 to go to Robbin Island tomorrow morning. This is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 16 of the 27 years he was in prison. It will be interesting. Will try to post pictures tomorrow.
Attended a welcome event tonite for all the peeps on our trip. There are about 38 of us. Schedule is packed as you know. Will be interesting to see how Dad handles the schedule. He has already met a couple of peeps who also want to wander off and do their own thing oh well, we'll see. Don't worry, I won't let him wander too far.
Well, that's it for tonite. We have wifi here at the Nelson Hotel so I will post. Wish you were here.... olives mum oxoxox
