Day 112 Lagoon Beach Hotel, Cape Town

After much discussion and phone calls to Safari Drive in South Africa, it was decided that we really had to get to Cape Town whilst the clutch was still functioning.  We certainly did not want to risk getting stuck and not being able to meet Greg on Wednesday.  So we decamped for the last time and headed to Cape Town - we had had our last night camping in the Landy!!  

As long as we were moving the clutch behaved but we were extremely conscious that once we got to Cape Town it would be much more tricky.  We had some lovely views of the Cederberg mountains on the way out. 

However, we managed to get all the way to the Lagoon Beach Hotel, which Safari Drive had managed to book for us, and had no issues until we got to the hotel car park.   

So our journey from Arusha to Cape Town was complete – we had made it in one piece but had managed to go through 2 Landrovers in the process and we would have to say goodbye to Attenborough!

It was a shame that we had missed out on two days camping and hiking in the Cederberg Mountains but it gives us an excuse to come back.  The fantastic views of Cape Town and Table Mountain soon lifted our spirits - we now have have 2 weeks to enjoy Cape Town.
