Above Clouds and Mountains

Recently our family spent some time in the South/East Cape. We used to live in this area but hadn't back for quite a while so it was really nice being there again! Although Jessica and I have flown in a helicopter, this was our first time to fly in a passenger jet so it was a new experience for us. :) 

Sorry, the pictures are not great but we decided to post some anyway. :P

Despite bad weather predictions, we basically had clear skies all the way except for some patches of cloud beneath us at times.  

At times we could see rivers and dams way down below - it really looks like a huge aerial photograph come to life! :)

Coming into George we flew over the mountains and experienced a bit of turbulence. 

The Toyota Corolla we rented for the holiday - we were all pleasantly surprised by how well it drove and how comfortable it was. :)

After a wonderful holiday it was time to head back home again ...

Sunset from up high... It was soon dark and towards the end of the flight we could see what seemed like millions of lights as we flew over the city. We made really good time - instead of the expected almost 2 hours, it took exactly 1 hour and five minutes - thanks to a tail-wind and a pilot who was in a hurry! :)
