We landed in Cape Town sometime between 10 and 11 on Tuesday morning. The flight was not too bad, Jaclynn had a little bit of earache but it was manageable. The poor little baby behind us though screamed for about 15 minutes non-stop. The guy sitting in front of us commented the whole time on kids on flights and kids not behaving, aaargh at one stage this really was getting on my nerves.

We had a bit of a struggle with the car rental company, who never told us that they are going to block R13 000 on our credit card (the total of the rental plus excess should something happen to the car). Then the car seat they gave for Kayli did not fit and somehow got tangled with the seatbelt and no-one could untangle it. So then we got another (bigger) car and we managed to sort out the carseats and start our holiday.

Jaclynn was really excited when she saw the ocean! We checked into the Ocean View hotel in Strand, and then went for lunch at the Spur. It was quite chilly outside, as it has been raining earlier the day.
