An Africa odyssey

craven morehead said:
@JohnM out of curiosity have you done Chapman's Peak? I was looping back from a day out checking out Simon's Town, Cape Point, Cape of Good Hope and Boulder and fluked the route. Was there prior to sunset. Stunning views over Hout Bay etc.

No. The Cape Town stop on this trip was just a brief finale.

Most of my South Africa travels have been nearer Jo'burg - Kruger NP, Drakensburgs. A previous trip to Cape Town was about 20 years ago and relatively brief.

Did you come across any oustanding wines ?

Apart from trying some at La Motte and buying two bottles of their Cabernet Franc to bring home, not really because many of the lodges we stayed at were all-inclusive with generally mid-range wines or their wine lists weren't high-end. Also, PJM doen't drink red and my brother for medical reasons can't drink much at all, and we had six people sharing so I just went with the group flow.
 
What a trip. I would need a whole week in bed after that. Certainly got to see a lot.
I have been watching the Mara main crossing since your report but I have seen only 1 small group of Wildebeest crossing. Crocodiles had no time to organise themselves.

What's this sharing a bottle business you speak of? :p
