Today would be the first official day of Part II of my African Adventures and the beginning of Nomad Africa Adventure Tours 41 day Cape Town to Nairobi road trip. I lob up to Nomads office, a couple of blocks over from my hotel, and meet up with Keith our driver/guide and Laurine our cook/guide.

The plan was to meet around 8AM for an 9AM departure, check out a winery and the make camp for the night by mid-afternoon, but as you will soon discover and hear often on this continent - "This Is Africa".

You will notice and addition to the Navy Blue text at the bottom of the travel pages - this is the official activity description Nomad outlined in their itinerary, so keep a close eye on what actually eventuates as it can be factual, hilarious and sometimes a little misleading. Be Happy
