It is a Cape of Storms and Hope here! After a long night twisting, tossing, turning on an aircraft seat and fighting for the all important armrest bastion, the pilot's soothing voice telling us about Cape Town's weather - "...and the temperature is 13 degrees with a grey overcast...." - only gives you a very little bit of information about the days ahead.

Thank goodness for that litlle EHIC card AND travel insurance. The card took care of the ALL medical expenses in Spain. Right from the word go. Right back to when we started the camino. That piece of plastic smoothed the way many times for us! If you are travelling in Europe, you should not leave home withou...
