I left Frankfurt on a snowy December evening – heading for Munich and then on to Cape Town … the beginning of an epic journey touching three continents and some of the remotest lands on the planet … and certainly one of my crazier trips (it not THE most crazy one … so far).

The start though was not that spectacular … I made it into Cape Town in the early afternoon the day after, dropped my stuff in a hostel and kicked if of with a stroll to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront to enjoy the scenery, the sun and do a first little boat trip.
