Our last day into Cape Town …….. we were busy packing
and having a last cup of coffee, when a microlight came zooming overhead. Soon there were about 8 other microlights with us. Some of the pilots landed on the little road and taxied up to us to say hi. At about
10:30am we took off for our last leg into Cape Town. We were escorted by a few of the pilots, while others went ahead.
After a short flight across Table Bay towards Table
Mountain, we turned east and landed at Contemanskloof to a very warm welcome.
I was thrilled to see my wife, Charmaine and our
daughter, Alexandra waving enthusiastically as I taxied towards the hangars. Almost my whole family was at the airfield to meet us. After saying hello to everyone, amidst cheers and tears, Olivier and I
congratulated each other and drank some champagne together.
So, that was the end of our official expedition. We
have flown just over 43,000 km in 8 months, without a single incident. Bloody marvellous!!!
