Day one of the great South Africa adventure started with a long 9 hour flight to Frankfurt Germany and since we had a 13 hour layover here we stayed on the move enjoying breakfast in Old Town Frankfurt then on to explore the Frankfurt Zoo. A partly cloudy 67 degree day made it very comfortable for our mile hike from Old Town to the zoo. We love to compare our animal habitats to other facilities around the world. Frankfurt Zoo was nicely laid out with lots to see although not at all interactive as our facility. Part two of our first travel day we board our 12 hour flight to Cape Town South Africa.

Our adventure today started when we landed this morning in Cape Town South Africa after a very long 12 hour flight. Next stop was car rental which was a very new experience driving on the opposite side of the road from Texas but Eduardo did a stellar job of getting us safely to the beautiful Table Bay Hotel. But as most family trips there are always those comedy moments especially when Eduardo exited the car rental place out the employee exit instead of the customer exit and of course the staff recognized us as crazy tourists from Texas so they just baled out of our way 🤦‍♂️🤠. Today was a causal day of rest, spa treatments and catching up a little from the long flight schedule, but we are out and about having fun enjoy the great SA cuisine.
