Today was a travel day.

We left the hotel b Kruger National Park this morning and flew from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport to Capetown. One of the most interesting part of the day was visiting with my seatmate. She said she had not been to Cape own for 10 years but was going for business. I asked her how often she went to Kruger or other game parks and she said that she lives in a game park. She asked me if I had heard of Sir Richard Branson and I said of course. She proceeded to tell me that she and her husband are the managers of the Ulusaba Private Game Reserve that is adjacent to Kruger. She was going to Cape Town to meet with colleagues who manage Branson's private wine property that is near Stellenbosch.  The views from the airplane were good. Cape Town is surrounded by rugged peaks. 

Table mountain does have a flat top.

Our guide explained that Cape Town is a very racially divided city. There were shanty town slums for miles along the highway as we drove from the airport toward the wine country near Stellenbosch. 

 

 

 

 

 

We will stay in Stellenbosch for 3 nights at the Stellenbosch Hotel  My room is called a petite room and it is definitely close quarters. The bathroom is made for grade school size kids.
