Our Trip Has Started
 
Hi to all of you who have been so helpful. Our trip has started in beautiful Cape Town and our first day our touring with Selwyn. He is a good as everyone said and I highly suggest booking his services while in Cape Town.

He took is to "his Township" where he has spent countless hours, days, weeks, months and years working with the wonderful people of this community. He knows most of the children by name and I bet most of the adults also. There are a about 22,000 and he may know them all.

When his white van pulls in the children run to see him. He has done amazing things here and I left wanting to take all of the children home.

One more day of touring with him and then off to Mala Mala.

Hello all,

Carol and Ron are truly two fantastic people to travel with. They just go with the flow and are having the time of their lives while in Cape Town. To see more of all the fun they had on their first day go to http://www.ilovecapetown.com/tours/spiegel/spiegel.htm

Today we are going down the Cape Peninsula in what is absolutely perfect weather. Tomorrow (Monday) we are expecting a 5 day rain and wind storm to hit our city and guess what the Spiegels leave Cape Town for Mala Mala in the morning. What lucky timing! :)

Very proudly part of the wonderful ((r)) nation of South Africa
