Thanks everyone for following the saga and for all of your comments. We absolutely loved South Africa and can't wait to return. And Mrs. SFO has proclaimed "forget Milan, Dubai is my new favorite shopping city" Woe is me. [/QUOTE]

Like all others enjoyed your trip report and pictures. So You ve been hit with the mal d'afqrique. A condition that is easily cured by the return to Africa. It took us a us a long time to get to Africa the first time and are already planning the return. I see you have the same thoughts. Suggest a Capetown/wine lands and a few days on safari combination for a great trip.
