3.5 months out of these 2 bags.
All repacked and ready to go in Cape Town |
Alas, after nearly 3.5 months in South Africa, my inaugural visit here has ended. It was with ambivalence that I entered the airport destined for my home country, leaving behind a newfound home. South Africa has much beauty in its natural landscape and people, and it would take little convincing to move to some cities. I would readily move to
CapeTown, but many other cities, such as intense
Johannesburg, would take a lot of persuasion. The country still has a long walk to economic and social equality, but continues to progress in the right direction. Overall, my impression remains: I would like to travel to this “
Rainbow Nation” again.
Next stop? 33 hours and 24 minutes of flights and layovers. Cape Town à Johannesburg à Frankfurt à Chicago à Orlando. I went through security 5 times, two times of which my bags were subjected to a bomb search. (I was negative both times!) I can blame this double treat to bringing home two carved ostrich eggs...
