At
the end of May i made a 5-day trip to Capetown in South Africa - It
was also my first visit on the african continent.
I booked the flight Vienna-Frankfurt-Johannesburg-Capetown and back
throught the internet for about 600 Euro.
In the evening I was going to the airport. Boarding for my flight
Lufthansa 3537 to Frankfurt was at gate C59. Takeoff
was at 6.20pm at runway 29. The aircraft was a Boeing 737-330 D-ABWH.
After 1 hour of flight time we landed at
Frankfurt at runway 07R. I spent the time until boarding for flight

Senator Lounge inside terminal B. This
time a Boeing 747-430(M) D-ABTE was my aircraft for the flight. At

After customs inspections a took a taxi to my
hotel - The Captonian Hotel - in the city. After a short break a went
to
the harbour. A lot of peoples we around Victora Wharf. I continued
to the foot of table mountain - unfortunately the
cable car was closed because of the strong winds. Finally I made a
short walk through downtown Capetown.

At
the last day I made a day trip to the Cape of good Hope. In the morning
we started with a small fish market and the
we continued to a rock where hundreds of seals life. After the short
ride with a small ship we continued our tour to the
Cape. The first highlight was the stop at the Cape of good Hope the
south western point of the african continent.
After this short stop we finally reached the
Cape of good Hope viewing area. The weather and the temperature were
very good. On the return trip to Capetown we stopped at a small village
with a lot of penguins on the beach. The last stop
was in an botanical garden near Capetown. We reached Capetown in the
evening, where I made some pictures from
Capetown during night.
