I leave for Cape Town next Thursday. The Mrs. is there now on assignment. Here are a few images from our trip last December. We stayed a few days at the Garden Route Game Reserve. Just call me Bawana!

Wonderful pics Chris! Keep us posted. Will you have internet access whilst you're away, or are you out of the cellar for a while?

We have a high speed connection at our hotel in Cape Town although it has good days and bad ones and can access the Internet in the bush camp if we use a cell modem type connection.

Here are some more images:

The first 2 are the view of Cape Town from our hotel room balcony and the beach out in front. We wers staying in Table View.

It gets very windy on the beaches north of Cape Town and you see lots of wind surfers and kite boaders. Here are a few. They make it look so easy!
