Cape Town - Sao Paulo

Today is our last day in Cape Town before we head to our last segment of the trip. Tomorrow we are off to Sao Paulo, Brazil. We have experienced great weather in Cape Town, even though it's winter time.

So today we are going to watch Despicable Me 2, Cape Town premier at the Wharf - New Metro Cinema's. Show starts at noon. Kids are very excited...

After the show it will be subway for lunch and maybe one last swim in the pool, before we pack up  and get ready for tomorrows flights. We leave Cape Town at 10:50 am to Johannesburg (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SAA326) and our flight to  Sao Paulo is tomorrow night around 5:45 pm out of Johannesburg (http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SAA224).

Jacob in the SAA Business Lounge enjoying some snacks!


The lounge had a kids sections with cool stuff and their own TV's.



Our plane to Sao Paulo...A340.


Jacob still wants to get a trip on the A380...the beast of the airways!



I think the family is getting anxious for the trip to end, they are missing Sam and home.

Our trip to Sao Paulo went well. Jacob had a hard time sleeping but we arrived ahead of schedule. We had to wait for a car service to take us to the hotel but once there everyone got to sleep.

We gained 5 hrs last night. It's only 1 hrs different between Sao Paulo and the Eastern time zone. So the majority of the time zone changes are behind us now and I have to say the kids are resilient, nobody really experienced major jet lag.

Happy 4th of July to everyone! We spent the 4th mostly in the air!

Today is the 5th and we are looking to plan out our week of Brazilian activities!

Bom Dia or Good Morning!
