Setting the Table Day 40-43

So we arrived late into Cape Town, 11:30pm thanks to our cancelled flight and delayed Connection in Johannesburg. I had a a first and last time experience I hope ever on a place. Apparently reclining your seat is not allowed on a South African airways flight, the idiot behind us thought that he was entitled to have more space and prevent me from reclining my chair, I told him I had paid just as much for my seat/space as he did. Well that didn't go over well, the lunatic started shaking my chair like a baboon that we had seen in the Chobe national park, banging his head with his hands. Seriously what a NUT! I think he forgot his pills. It got that aggressive for him that he stood up and imitated choking me and even went as far as telling the cabin crew member that he wanted to kill me. I had to laugh after, all I wanted to say was "sit down sir, the seatbelt sign is on". So that was a very tense but amusing flight I'd rather not experience again. We slept like babies that night. Early breakfast the next day, and an 8am departure for our morning half day city tour, Table mountain, signal hill, and lions head. All amazing all beautiful.

Although it was very windy, so we didn't go up the mountain. We toured the city afterward Green Market square and streets with coloured houses, once the indigenous houses for slavery now painted new most years.

We caught up with Sheryl and Allan tonight for seafood dinner in camps bay, they thought it would be their treat to take us out. Let alone did they know the pleasure was all ours. What we would have payed at home for this would be 4 times as much so it was no issue for us to take the bill, also lovely people and well worth coming back to see them.

Tomorrow we were supposed to be doing the shark cage diving turns out with high winds they canceled it anyway and Aaron wasn't feeling 100% with a cough and a cold seems like we all had it at some point. So we had a sleep in and went for a walk through the waterfront area, shops and sea side cafes restaurants and bars a really nice day for it and it was also Mother's Day so he vibe around the city was great.

Tonight we went out for a low key dinner in de waterkant, which turned into a few drinks at a gay bar. At first Aaron was reluctant at first but given this was the first one in the whole trip he had no choice. We needed up staying until 3AM!!!

That's right, I was even the one who said to Aaron lets go. He was loving talking to "straight" bar staff. Who I must say we're really nice guys. Somehow I ended up doing a body shot off one of the bar tenders. Rule 101 don't ask a bar tender earning tips what a body shot is! He demonstrated and then there was no backing out. It was fun and I secretly enjoyed getting the Amarula out of his 6 pack 😛😝. Aaron was also a "witness" to another guy who didn't pay for his body shots and had security asking Aaron if he saw it and if he paid hahaha it was hilarious cause I didn't see it. Tomorrow, we'll at this point I should now say today we are onto our final leg and card number 5 revealed what Aaron somewhat knew, Dubai.

What he didn't know what we are staying at he Atlantis and we had an overnight flight to get there with a chauffeur transfer when we arrived and an arrival lounge to shower up and get fresh for the day. That's it for specifically Africa and wow it has been incredible and better then I'd hoped or imagined. ⁃ END
