Safely Landed in Cape Town

We had a pretty lumpy flight in the Cessna 210 back to Windhoek. Glad it was only 1 1/2 hours long. A short wait and we board the Air Namibia A-319 for a two hour flight to Cape Town. Checked through customs, picked up a local rental phone, and off to the rental car stand. This is all very nice, modern, and well run. Just like Seatac.......sort of......the rest of the story....Back in February I celebrated the most wonderful birthday, so wonderful in fact I neglected to notice my drivers license experation date wiz by. So why is this important now? Guess who has total responsibility for the rental car and driving on the left hand side? Yep, I know how to score points.......
Good thing Kris is the good sport she is.

Our guide was a prisoner here for seven years. Political prisoners recieved harsher treatment than all others.

Hey guys,
Glad you are having a great time. Cannot believe Mr Tesla has been driving with an expired license!! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
