Welcome to South Africa!
Eight of us begin our journey through this wonderful land on Monday, October 27.
This is my TENTH South Africa tour since I started them in 2009!
It should be on everyone's bucket list.

We had lunch in Cafe Riche. One of the first things Nelson Mandela did after being freed from prison on Robin Island, was to invite the judge who had sentenced him to life in prison, to coffee at Cafe Riche, and told him he held no grudge against him for doing what he was required by law to do!
