And our journey begins!

Both flights were awesome apart from the turbulance on the second one. Shelley used the puke bags on both flights, poor girl. Amsterdam was ... interesting but good :) We arrived in Cape Town at 10:30PM to our friends at the airport.

So much changed since we were here last. New roads that completely confuse me, I have no idea where I am going and, driving on the left hand side of the road has thrown my brain into mayhem. I let Brett drive and am his back seat driver :)

Weather is great, like spring. Days are around 65-70 odd so we get to still enjoy the T-shirts while they all walk around in sweaters. It's hilarious!!

Our first day in Cape Town consisted of a serious lunch at a restaurant we have missed. Then a traditional South African braai (BBQ) outside. It was amazing.

This morning we took a flight to Port Elizabeth, rented our car and are now at the B&B where we will spend the next four days. The B&B is on the iron man course so we should get to see Brett often during the race. Brett did a test swim in the ocean today and said it wasn't too bad (waters just a tad chilly this side)as well as a bike ride and is now up at the convention center for his briefing.

Nicole does her Kids Ironman tomorrow. I wouldn't call her excited but she says she will do it ;) She's goning to be great !!

Will post a few pictures of our day. Enjoy! Also, I will be blogging throughout the race in its entirety!

Stay well
Brett, T, Nicole and Shelley
