Cape Town, RSA
We woke up early to finish our packing and say our sad goodbyes to our dear Cape Town friends. They made our South Africa trip so special and we feel we truly experienced the trip of a lifetime. We have the best memories to reminisce over through the years and we will never forget the great times we had here, the amazing sights we have seen and the kind and welcoming and fun people we met in our travels. We will certainly aim to be back.
We left for the airport super early to return the car. When we saw the gas station by the airport we tried to direct ourselves in to top off the tank, but ended up going the wrong way on the road – our first and only mistake while driving on the left hand side of the road! On the way to return the car!! That flub had us give up on the gas-getting task, we just decided to return the car as is (we had filled up the night before anyways). This time at the airport was our first run-in with carry-on weight limits… we had to shuffle some of our luggage weight to Jeannette’s purse to make each bag under the limit. It was silly. At the Jo’Burg airport we had an easy pickup by our driver, Lance, and Sylvia called us on his phone to assure everything went according to plan.
Our brackets – a few still standing at this point:
