By now we were well practiced, making our move through Durban airport quite smooth. The only hairy moment was had by Tom Earnshaw who having been given his passport on the coach thought he had lost it by the time he reached check in. The look on his face said it all but the panic quickly passed when he found his passport in his hand luggage.
Having landed at Cape Town and located our coach we proceeded to the Cape Town Lodge. Word had reached us that the extended party had already arrived and were sampling the local beers. We were greeted by a merry bunch and Val Tamanis led the welcome party clapping the lads into the hotel.
Check in complete it could be put off no longer, Ben Fairclough was treated to and over due visit to the hospital. This time a short walk (seems odd walking someone with a potential broken leg to a hospital). Initially the doctor thought we were dealing with a break, how ever relief all round when the xray proved him wrong. Ben forgot the pain and skipped back to the hotel whilst I suffered the pain of parting with £250. Ben, Scott and I arrived back at the hotel to join the court session, which by now was well on it's way. Several punishments had already been awarded including strange cocktails and silly outfits. Joe Hepple modelled the where's Wally costume perfectly and took a liking to the red sun glasses, which he wore for the rest of the tour.
