Cape Town to Johannesburg
Going to be a bit of a quiet day and a short blog today as it’s a travel day. We have to be back in Johannesburg to catch our flight to Ulusaba tomorrow morning at 9:15am.
So after breakfast we packed up all our gear, went out for a last walk down Kloof Street to visit a couple of the galleries and pick up some wasabi chips that we had discovered for sale a few days earlier in a local shop.

It's our first day in Cape Town so we were up bright and early to grab some breakfast downstairs at the Derwent House, this morning it was french toast and bacon with really good maple syrup, yumm.
After breakfast we headed down to Kloof street to pick up some bandaids for Kelly from a chemist, it was such a beautiful day, sunny, warm and blue skies, that we wandered around Kloop street for a while finally ending up in an amazing Wellness store that was huge and full of some good stuff, including Wasabi chips, that we ended up with a bagfull of goodies necessary for our survival on the adventure. After that it was back to Derwent House to pick up our packs, grab a taxi and head for Table Mountain. Table Mountain dominates the Cape Town landscape and our hotel is very close to it in fact our room and balcony looks out onto it.
Rovos Rail - in transit – Cape Town
It’s our second morning on the train and we awake to another beautiful day in South Africa. This morning we are not up quite so early, and it’s already past sunrise and there is a wonderful golden glow to the countryside passing by our windows.
