Thanks Moomba. I am actualy usually quite a big picture taker, but on these flights it just felt wrong! I do have one or two of interest, but not realy any great value to the trip report...

Descending into Cape Town

Drinking "traditional" beer in a "traditional" pub

Being ambushed by kindergarten children

Sat at Cape Point

The only photo I took of the cabin!
