in South Africa: An Elegant Adventure

We are one week away from our "Elegant Adventure". We will arrive a day early in Cape Town. Actually, we will probably arrive at about 11:00PM on the 24th. of October, after about 25 hours of traveling. We have scheduled massages at the Cape Grace, mid-afternoon on 10/25, to help shed the jet lag syndrome. Looking forward to new experiences and memories. The Cape Grace and the surrounding area look phenomenal, as do Kruger and Victoria Falls.

    We got 400 in rand at atm in johansburg
    That’s approximately $40
    We went to African market there to buy souvenirs on free afternoon , it was towards end of trip so we didn’t have to carry souvenirs everywhere.. definitely bargain there. The merchants expect you to bargain with them.
    We used credit cards everywhere else.
