Hi Peter,
You are right about the Cape but we dry not to rub it in with the "vaalies". BTW the Transvaal is now "Gauteng".
Fly SAA is of course non-stop to Cape Town. Its the heaviest takeoff at 365 000 Kg (acording to the captain) and longest flight in the world. But then again you get to watch about 6 -7 inflight movies during the 18 hours! You also get served decent Cape wines at dinner...
Cheers
