SOUTH AFRICA: A NATION LOOKING FORWARD

The Rainbow Nation.
Blessed with an abundance of wildlife, mountains, beaches, wineries, South Africa has a lifetime of touring potential. In 2013, we arrived the day after the great man, Madiba, left this earth. Seeing the genuinely deep respect Mandela commanded, and the outpouring of sorrow was touching. To tour his prison of Roben Island with his fellow prisoner and comrade as a guard was to feel a genuine connection to the man and his legacy.
We first visited for the 2003 Cricket World Cup. (Some black and white pics of dubious quality went up late April.)
Next time we only visited Cape Town, to catch flights home.
