Second week was spent for me travelling to Cape Town. An anthropologist would have stayed longer to taste district 6 and the Zeiz museum. Time only allowed for table mountain, Robben island where Mandela was held prisoner for 18 of 27 years and a day trip to the Cape of Good hope. I’m a shipwreck enthusiast so enjoyed the a stories of Turner and Dias, the later making his way to India on the spice route.
Picture 4 shows lions on the game reserve. At one point I was near mauled by a cheetah while taking a call of nature while the advanced party had experienced a wheel stoppage. Luckily 20 meters and an awareness kept me alive.
