Cape Town - South Africa, March 25, 2014

Do you remember when you received that incredible result from the Surgeon and as you were good to travel we decided to jump on pretty much the earliest plane we could get and went to Cape Town. You know we flew 9 and a half hours to London, waited three hours and then flew 11 and a half hours to Cape Town, boy was that crazy. Oh hang on as I sit jet lagged in the Heathrow airport, must of nodded off and dreamt we were in the future looking back at some crazy times. This is live, we are in Heathrow waiting for our connecting flight boy when we look back on this we are just going to shake our heads.
Crazy...

Soooo, as you gathered with Jan's results and clearance from the Surgeon we are once again continuing with travel plans. I will finish this in Cape Town but we are going to be in Cape Town for a week prior to our ship coming in. The MS Amsterdam is finishing its third leg of the 2014 Grand World Voyage where we will jump aboard for the fourth and final leg as its makes it way from Cape Town to Fort Lauderdale. Thereafter we will stay aboard for the repositioning leg to Seattle with us stopping and getting off in its second last port, Vancouver. SO we are taking two days to travel half way around the world to take seven weeks to cruise back, told you this was crazy...
