Much discussion had been had regarding the logistics for
today. The original plan had been to
drive the Landy to the airport, collect the hire car and pick up Greg. One of us would then drive the Landy and one
the hire car onwards to Hout Bay where we would have met with Paul from Safari
Drive to hand back the Landrover. We
had tried to hire a car for an extra day but had been told there were no cars
to be had anywhere in Cape Town due to Xmas.
So our plan was to get a cab to the airport and hope that we could pick
our booked car up a few hours early, drive back to the hotel and load it with
all our kit and then drive back to the airport for Greg. In the end we managed to pick the car up at
8am and by the time we had loaded all our kit we realised that we couldn’t
possibly get Greg’s stuff in too (we still had lots of food, water and
wood). We decided to drive to Hout Bay
and try to get into the apartment early.
It turned out that Greg was delayed anyway so we had plenty of time to have
lunch, find the apartment, unpack, go shopping and still get back to the
airport before Greg had landed. It had
taken Greg over 24 hours to get to Cape Town although still considerably
quicker than our 4 months!!
The view from the apartment is lovely looking out over the
beach to Fisherman’s Wharf in one direction and towards Chapman’s Drive in the
other.
