Windhoek to Cape Town, South Africa, a two hour flight. I used an Uber to travel to the airport from the City and it cost NAD 260 compared to the official Airport taxi rate of NAD 450. The bank at the airport was open at 07:00 so I could change my leftover Namibian Dollars to South African Rand. The aircraft was the usual small Embraer which we walked to from the terminal. Cape Town on the other hand is a big and busy airport, long queue at immigration. I already had a SIM card for South Africa. Similar to Johannesburg there is a reserved area in the car park for Uber, the ride into the city took 20 minutes and cost R190.
Cape Town – population 4.7 million and the most tourist friendly place I have visited in Africa. Being winter it rained for all the seven days I spent there. Table Mountain Cable Car and the Robben Island Tours were both cancelled due to the weather, winter is not the best time to visit Cape Town. I did get to go on a Wine Tour which was very nice and being wet did not matter. The Waterfront is an area with shopping centres and restaurants and is a good place to spend some time. During the day the CBD is safe but I was warned not to go out after dark.
Wine Tour to Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Pederburg.
