Amazing. That is all that can be said. Cape Town and the rest of South Africa is incredible. I wish I had so much more time in Cape Town - there is so much to do. I was only able to do Habitat for Humanity and cycling in the winelands. Then, I was off to my wonderful safari. We stayed at a luxuriously rustic lodge and the bathroom was larger than the size of my cabin on the ship. We had an outdoor shower and a bathtub to relax in. There was a mosquito net around our beds. These five-star accommodations were quite in contrast to my riverboat down the Amazon. As for the animals that we saw, my expectations were completely exceeded. We saw everything, well except for a leopard. That is one of the hardest animals to spot and I haven't met anyone who did see one. But we did see:
- lions
- elephants
- giraffes
- zebras
- crocodile
- monkeys
- snake
- hippos
- rhinos
- baboons
- kudu
- wildebeest
- waterbuck
- wild dogs
- owls
- impala
More stories for later, but I just wanted to put up a preliminary post with some pictures. More pictures of South Africa are at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2047722&l=99e97&id=704151
