THURSDAY, APR 15TH--CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
We were dead tired last night so barely made it through our dinner at Prime 7 before collapsing in bed. Of course I woke up at 5:15am like I have for the past few days. I managed to go back to sleep for a couple more hours. I have been working all day trying to get the safari photos uploaded for you. Took all morning to edit and write captions for the actual 470 photos that I am putting on the blog. When I was ready to upload them we came to the very nice mall just across from where our ship is docked as thought it would be much fasted. We were suppose to go to a Regent Event at 2:30. All the world cruiser passengers were taken 1 hour from Cape Town to a well know winery for tasting, canapés, crafts, and entertainment. I was not back in time and in fact my computer battery was low so returned to ship for power cord then back to the internet coffee shop in mall. Then I discovered the plug was international so back to ship to get my adapters. Mind you, it is a 10 minute walk each way! So now I am back in mall and still not half way done with uploading photos and it is nearly 4pm. Hopefully I will get this done. It is a cool and windy day here but sunny. Table Mountain is capped with clouds today however. Hopefully it not be covered tomorrow as we have a tour up to it. It is great place for photos they say. We have a morning tour and afternoon tour. We will be back on the ship from noon to 2pm though and Samantha, the travel agent from Cape Town we used for our safari, is coming on the ship for lunch with us and a tour of the ship. I haven’t even had time to see what the entertainment on the ship is for tonight. Guess we will dine in the Compass Rose dining room tonight. The 4th segment passengers got off today and the new 5th and last segment passengers are coming aboard. More new faces! Ok, FINALLY! You have the safari photos to view. Once again, I know there are a lot of similar ones but they were too good to just delete.
