Mon 10/23 Arrive Cape Town

Cape Town population some 5,000,000 strong. Traffic shows it.

Got in a little ahead of schedule ie; 4:45pm local time. Lost 6 hrs due to time zone change, so still was a 24 hr travel time. Customs was not an issue, stamped passport and sent us through. Met promptly by our John Hall tour rep. with arranged shuttle. Seven in our group, two couples from The Villages here in Florida.

Transferred to our hotel, Victoria Alfred Hotel, right down by the Harbor. Very active harbor, mixing industrial activity with tourist attractions. Lots of dinning close by and a very large mall area. Very nice.

Caught a quick appetizer and drink before heading to bed. Tired !!

Tomorrow, wine country tour, the Napa Valley of South Africa.
