Travel Day May 26th

Tuesday May 26, 2026

Long day of travel! Up at 2:30 to be ready for a 3:30 taxi pickup. Flight was at 7:00 (hotel staff said we needed to be at airport 3 hours before departure). The first leg of our journey was Amsterdam to Zurich and then Zurich to Cape Town. Everything went smoothly until we boarded our flight to Cape Town when the captain informed us they had a problem with the lock on the cabin door and needed to have it fixed before takeoff. After sitting on the plane for an hour, we finally took off for our 11+ hour flight. By the time we got through customs, picked up our luggage, connected with our driver and drove to our hotel it was almost midnight. The good news is our hotel is lovely, staff is friendly, and our room is spacious. Glad this day was finally over though!

  1. Wait, that’s it, that’s all the update we get for today?? Is this how you felt when I traveled to India and I couldn’t communicate on a regular basis. This is tough!
