Cape Town

We arrived in Cape Town yesterday morning and were driven to the Portswood Hotel which is in a lovely part of town, just down by the waterfront.  We wanted to, maybe, take a tour up to Table Mountain, but it was covered in a blanket of cloud all day, which Dad assures me the locals do not call a "cloud", but a "cloth"!

We decided to have our last intake of junk food at the food court in the V&A Mall, Toby choose a relatively healthy Sub from Subway, the rest of us got stuck-in to a bucket from KFC!

We check in to the RMS St Helena at 2pm local time today, at will probably be out of communication for the next 5 days at least - time to rest & relax...

Next stop St. Helena...

The Land Rover's gone...

The shipping company have just picked up the car.  We filled it with lots of loose bags & boxes, only to be informed that they will empty the car at Avonmouth and put it all in boxes !!  At least it has saved us the trouble of doing it!

Our Freelander "JamJar" (reg JMJ) on it's way to the South Atlantic.
