ALL THE PLANNING AND PREPARATIONS


September 2015
Cape Town
Days of researching, planning and applications followed. The route was decided on and changed and changed and changed again. We are on Version seven right now.

Along go all the contacts, the booking of hotels, the timing, the plans, the sightseeing etc
In one case THE HILTON in Luxor refused to refund a booking  made thru www.booking.com .
Letters, complaints and threats to disclose that shocking malpractice to the world  eventually led them to refund us one night for two rooms.
Unbelievable as the booking was for three and a half weeks ahead…..

Visas is a subject on its own.
On this trip we do not need to apply for a visa for any country ahead of arrival. Iam very suspicious, it is too good to be true and somehow I think we will not get away with it….
….I asked our Mitflieger JUERGEN to check and re-check, make calls in Germany, double check….the answer:
Alles gut, wir brauchen keine Visa im Vorfeld fuer irgend ein Land in welches wir einreisen.
All good, we do not need any visas for any country beforehand.

We will enter 12 countries, RSA is number 13.
No visas prior arrival?  Alright, we will see.

Internet Information varies. Whatever, our time has run out and we will have to see what comes our way.
