1time to Cape Town

The best airline in South Africa: 1time. Why might you ask? Because they gave us a free flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town for a delayed flight that made us miss our next mode of transportation. Now that's customer service. Asus (my worst travel customer service experience) could learn a thing or two from 1 time.

Cape Town has an eclectic feel of many different US cities. The port reminds me of Seattle, the bay and shoreline of Waikiki, the downtown sprawl of LA, and the 2nd story balconies along Longstreet of New Orleans.

Took a day hike over table Mountain to get a lay of the land. Started from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, up Skeleton Gorge to the highest point at Maclear Beacon, across the Central Table, and down Platteklip Gorge and eventually all the way to the coast.


Finished the long day of hiking with great company and a delicious braai of boerewors, lamb chops, and marinated chicken.

  4. 사랑하는 아들에게!
    네가 여행을 떠난지도 벌써 사개월이 지났구나.그동안 낯선곳에서 많은 것들을 보고 배우고 느꼈으리라 생각된다.특히하나님 아버지의 선하신 도우심의 손길이 함께 하셨음에 무었보다도 감사드리며, 아들의 생애에 귀한 경험과 자산이 되리라 믿는다. 모국 한국에서의 모든 일정도 잘 마무리 하고 반갑게 건강한 모습으로 만날날을 기대하며 ....새해에
    큰 아빠,작은 큰아빠,고모님들께 찾아 뵙고 인사 드리면 좋겠다. 우리의 자랑스런 아들에게, 엄마 아빠가
