After meeting up at Heathrow a quick coffee followed by dropping off our bags and some emotional goodbyes we were off. We finally took off around 15:35 heading towards Doha, we had opted for a longer journey for a lower cost. Flying with Qatar airways we landed in Doha around 6 hours later. We then made our way upstairs ready for our 2nd flight of the day, a 9 hour flight to Cape Town airport. We couldn't fault the service, the amount of food and drink we were given was endless, the staff were friendly and polite, just a shame the seats weren't comfy enough to get much sleep in.
After collecting our bags (after hours of worrying if they'd turn up) we were met by 1 of the Communicare team, Lourens (the organisation that we will work with) who drove us to where we would be staying. I nice short drive and we had arrived welcomed by staff and residents of Berghof Retirement Village. Luke and Jeff must have made quite an impression last year as everyone has been asking about them, looks like we've got a lot to live up to, no pressure.
After skipping lunch which would have been around 10:30am in the UK we decided to go for a walk. Obviously changing out of winter clothes and applying sun cream first. Quick stop off at the shops and back for our afternoon meal. Sitting here now at 17:00 local time falling asleep in an arm chair, after a lack of sleep on the plane it'll probably be an early night tonight for me and Harry.
Being picked up at 10am tomorrow to go meet everyone at the office before being shown around Cape Town.
Will try and write again tomorrow. Have a good evening.
