Day 1 Captown

Here we go!! The journey begins.

As a little surprise from the airline, we flew Zurich - Doha with a new type of aircraft that had never been in Switzerland before (An Airbus A350). We didn't notice much of it on the plane.

How can you make a lot of people nervous and tense at the same time? It's simple, take a plane full of people, 90% of whom have a connecting flight, and let the plane land with a 1-hour delay. This happened in Doha. I was lucky, my flight was 3 hours later than the scheduled arrival time. So my stay in Doha was shorter, but I didn't have to kill 3 hours at midnight, I could go through security and it was almost boarding time. From Doha we went directly to Cape Town.

After all the formalities were done, I took public transport from the airport to the hostel. The first surprise didn't take long. But it was a positive surprise. Both buses I had to take were punctual to the minute. I honestly didn't expect that.
