I have a fondness for Southern Africa as I spent my childhood there. There are places there I still long to see. A friend told me about a recent trip she was on, from Zimbabwe to Cape Town. The land tours’ itinerary had all the places I wanted to visit, and I started checking for departure dates. A time that stood out was February 2nd until February 23rd, and I could fly out of Amsterdam with direct flights to Johannesburg.
February 2nd has been an auspicious date as Michael and I rounded Cape Horn in our yacht Sequitur, that day four years earlier. It also included February 12th, the day my family arrived as Dutch immigrants in Cape Town in 1952.
This date left me with only two weeks to prepare for departure and I decided to go.
