CAPE TOWN ARRIVAL AND GLIMPSE OF JOHANNESBURG AIRPORT



February 2015 ,  I was given the opportunity to travel  to Cape Town  in lieu of medical training sponsored by my company. Took a direct flight from Kolwezi to Johannesburg which lasted for three hours  and boarded a domestic flight from OR Tambo Airport to Cape Town for another two hours aboard South African Airways.

stayed for almost three hours loitering aimlessly  inside the airport. The plane touch down  cape town airport past ten in the evening  as per schedule. Upon arrival , the driver of the the UBER service that I availed was waiting  with a placard bearing my name saying Welcome to Cape Town...so sweet ... :)
