We can officially call this one a wrap. The pin is in the map, Cape Town has officially been visited. Its a long way there, but well worth the trip. In the spirit of the holiday season, the coming days are going to be filled with activity on this space. Here is what my reader's have to look forward to:
1. Cape Town photos. I am currently posting them to Kodak, but look for some here as well.
2. Frankfurt recap. I didn't get a chance to describe our day in Frankfurt, Germany, on the way to Cape Town, but I will give the low down later in a post.
3. The November (yep, its a ways overdue) Next Destinations List. I promise to get that up soon.
4. My Uncle Paul's recap of his trip to Istanbul, Turkey in October!! Paul has kindly described his experience in Istanbul for us, becoming the Four Corner's first official correspondent. I will be posting it in chunks however, he didn't mince any words, and it comes to about nine pages in a word document. Paul has a PhD in English, so I wouldn't expect anything less. It is a good view onto what it is like to take a tour (in this case, the one offered by FC's main advesary, Rick Steves-DAMN HIM!!) something that I cannot give an account of, so I think it will be valuable to post here.
5. A review of "Cowboys and Aliens", which I watched on the flight from Frankfurt to Toronto yesterday.
So there you have it. Give me a day or two to get over this jet lag and get back into the swing of things and I will be sure to get you the above-mentioned material.
In the meantime, I leave you with a couple of neat items picked up on the internet today:
