Cape Town, South Africa, Africa Airplane We got up early this morning so we could repack everything for the last time on this trip.

Cape Town, South Africa, Africa Ashanti Lodge Gardens Today was our last full day in Cape Town, and it was another good day.

It was a brand new Boeing 787 and the amenities onboard were great. Each seat had a big touch screen on the back…
