Hello Leony,
Thanks for your message. It was quite an adjustment yesterday when we stepped out of the airport in Paris and it was -5 degrees. A difference of over 30 degrees from the day before in Cape Town.
We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed it to the last minute. The accommodations were all okay, ranging from good to a few that were truly fantastic. We saw a lot, ate delicious food, enjoyed the beautiful, varied landscape, and found friendly people with good service everywhere. Although the huge contrast between rich and poor is evident even in the smallest villages and you hear a lot about crime, we personally never felt threatened, nor did we experience or witness anything unpleasant.
We will definitely come back to South Africa again.
Kind regards,
Karel & Marja
