Day 1: Cape Town, South Africa
The boat docked at Cape Town after almost half day of delay.
I have joined the Victoria Falls tour, and it included a 1/2 day Cape Town City Tour.
Passing through the city
Bo-Kapp - a district with vibrant and colourful houses
The staium, chinese dinner and a sunset drive by the beach before checking into the hotel.
Our original schedule was to fly from Victoria Falls to Port Elizabeth to board the boat. However, we missed our flight from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth owing to the delay in Victoria Airport. As scheduled, it set sailed for 3 days to Toliara in Madagascar without us. We had failed to rejoin the boat at Port Elizabeth.
According to the agent, we would stay for two nights in Cape Town, and then fly to the capital of Madagascar - Antananarviro to take a domestic flight to Toliara to rejoin the boat.
<<Well, two nights in Cape Town would allow me to do a bit of laundry>> . Also, we would be visiting Cape Point and the penguin colony the next day.
Day 5 - Cape Town - Johannesburg
During breakfast, we were told that we would be flying to Johannesburg after the Cape Point tour in the afternoon instead of the next day. Thus, a mad dash to the room to pack the luggage since we would be checking out of the hotel after breakfast. <<Gosh, my socks and T-shirts were still damp, gotto just place them in plastic bag and stuff into the backpack>>.
Cape Point
The prefabricated cast iron tower was erected on Cape Point Peark 249m above sea level. The white flashing light of 2000 candlepower could be seen by ships 67km out to sea. The lighthouse proved to be ineffective as it was often covered by cloid and mist. After the wreck of the Portuguese line "Lusitania" in 1911, it was decided to ereect the present lighthouse on Dias Point below 87m above sea level.
Penguin Colony
Cape Town - Johannesburg
We made our way to the airport, and were informed that the group would split into two. One group would be flying to Antananarviro the next day, while the second group would only fly the following day. <<I was in the first group>>
I was glad that two Chinese tour agents picked us up from Johannesbury airport to check us into the hotel. <<Though many were grumpy and unhappy... 😔>>
Day 6 Johannesburg - Antananaviro
Almost nobody (not me) knows the itinerary to get to Toliara after arriving the Antananarivo.
Yes, adventure awaits 😏😉 after arriving in Madagascar.
