In the morning we port at Cape Town. There is such excitement on the ship, after 9 days at sea we set foot on land and not just any land!
I will be taking students to the Tutu Peace Centre in the afternoon and then will be footloose in evening (during gay pride week in Cape Town!), but with the reality check of leading a safari to Kapama River Lodge in Kruger the next morning at 7 a.m. I will be out in the bush for four days, then back Saturday night. Sunday is a free day and I have intentions of visiting the penguin colony at Boulder Bay and a winery before getting back on the ship Sunday evening.
There have been tropical cyclones (Ivan and Nicholas) of magnitude moving across the southern hemisphere; Ivan has hit Madagascar, and is predicted to create torrential rains and ocean swells for our departure from Cape Town. Looks like I may get more storm at sea than I bargained for... (don't forget you can track our voyage on the SAS website). But first a safari!
