Started yesterday
morning from Robertson – 2 hours on the road to Cape Town Airport -
Amazing drive through the Huguenot Pass and Tunnel
Our flight to
Johannesburg was fairly ordinary – although being served a meal and
a drink on a short haul flight was a bit of a novelty. Then we took
the new GauTrain from the Airport to Sandton - only 12 minutes, avoided the traffic and didn't have to deal with the airport taxi drivers again - definitely the best route to and from the airport.
Big thanks again to Sue who collected us and gave us a bed for the night and fed us dinner in return for accompanying her to a 'girly' movie. Seemed like a fair deal to me
Spent Monday relaxing in the garden while she was busy with her studies - persuaded her to take a break at lunchtime - and then she dropped us back at Sandton for the return journey to the airport this evening.
One of the birds we have seen frequently have been European Barn swallows and over the last couple of weeks they have started to gather together on the telephone lines getting ready for their journey home. Hopefully some of them are Irish swallows and we can look forward to seeing them at Moyhill in the near future.
