We bagged Table Mountain!



We hiked two hours, two miles, with a 2300 foot elevation gain along a stone covered staircase to the skies. We felt sun, fog, and a little bit of mist as the promised view hid behind the thick, puffy clouds. There was just a quick break in the action for a tiny glimpse of the 360 degree panoramic wonder of Cape Town. And that's how we bagged Table Mountain's famed Platteklip Gorge trail...and the kids still had energy to swim afterwards!
Tomorrow is a monsterous travel day as we head to the airport at 3:30AM to catch our 5:45AM two hour flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, we will drive 4.5 hours to Madikwe Game Reserve. We will be staying at Motswiri Lodge where we hope to see the big 5 over the next 4 days and 3 nights!

Irish the sun came out today...

The  Cliffs of Moher is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen...well, that was 20 years ago, and today we learned you can plan everything but the weather...thank goodness for visitor centers with full length pics of the place and hats...lots of hats. And, at least we could see from one side of the ferry ride to the other...not to mention Gerry felt right at home with the heard of cows crossing. Oh Ireland - from one adventure to the next..

Making our way home... but first

Our African adventures ended with a quick trip through Pilanes National Park where we completed the big 5 by seeing a leopard in the wild! We also saw hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, kudu, wart hogs and zebra... to think we almost skipped this place! Now we are at the airport awaiting our next flight.
