comments below [Music] [Music] having had lunch and some play time it’s now time to leave Takara and head to the airport with a couple stops along the way basically if you look at the sculpture it is Testament to the change in the last 30 years M Sal BOS the birthplace of segregation and of what we call the parted the M fact that you got a statue and an artwork of Nels Mandela um says that we’ve moved on yes you know the changes happened and and he’s acknowledged and this is phenomenal an architectural Masterpiece m in the Town Square yeah where segregation was born yeah moving in the right direction we are we are that’s powerful he’s called MBA right MBA this is one of his famous things mhm never and never again shall it be said that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one another yes [Music] so this place only has a few locations and we’ve now been to two cuz we went to this ice cream location before the cruise and we’re going [Music] again clothing whatever you see it’s all local oh that’s great believe your own hype I like that you know the deal look at all the flavors and comment below what flavor ice cream are you ordering from [Music] Kristen’s I chose Claire’s rainbow block this ice cream is so yummy this ice cream is so [Music] good Kristen’s ice cream gets a thumbs up from J to what a day we are now truly on our way to the airport we are about to wrap up a beautiful week’s experience in the motherland and think about it in just one single day today we’ve been on the ocean on the city and Country Roads and we’re about to be in the air and just like that we’re back on board United Airlines out of CPT Tape Town International Airport heading to newer Liberty International Airport in New Jersey one thing I immediately realized sitting in this seat versus the bulkhead seat that we had on this United Jet same at least the same type of jet7 if not the exact same jet is that there’s a lot more a lot is Extreme for economy for 16 hours but there’s more leged room in this seat the regular economy seats in the middle section rather than the bulkhead for me I’m 5’1 and so is Allan is I still think I’m taller than him but 510 511 you have more leg room I would say in these middle seats spend the bulkhead seat which we had on our flight from nework to K town so see where Alan’s feet are like when you come in and just sit normal mine are there too right in front of me I have a bag under my seat right now he doesn’t right now but we’ll switch that around during the flight I can stick my feet on the side of my bag all the way in and Alan can s his feet all the way out so we couldn’t do that on the flight from nework to Cape Town when we were in the bulad if you are see in an exit room you may be asked to assist the C during an evacuation if you’re unable or uncomfortable please ask a flood attendant to move it’s time for takeoff and despite nighttime not being the best to capture this sort of footage 13-year-old cameraman AJ yes that’s my baby got us this exclusive look at Cape Town from the night sky [Music] thank you thank you the boys were waiting to get these headsets so they could watch the United entertainment system which is pretty good AJ had me promised to watch Sonic 2 on this flight tonight’s dinner we got be there wasn’t a choice but that’s okay we’ll see how this goes cuz we were saying food in Cape Town And even on the mess has been wonderful I United Food all the way to K to was not so much I you to give it a try on the way back home down to New York well to New York okay smells good I was smelling it before we got it it smells good but that’s Alan opening his up I got the same thing as I said there was no choice going to take guys now food is actually tasty even the couscous we each have a chocolate dessert a dinner roll and a bottle of water to add to the drinks we already had for snack we have a chicken sandwich which is just okay in the bag with a sandwich we also have cheese Knack a chocolate bar and a yummy fruit chew stick I alluded to this earlier but didn’t come outright and say it so let me say it now this flight in total is about 16 hours long I’m getting in my Abbot Elementary on this flight for breakfast we each have an omelette I’m having cranberry juice with mine you have milk yeah it’s good the food on this trip from Cape Town back to nework is far better than the food we had on the flight from nework to Cape Town so we we actually really did enjoy this omelette breakfast I’m surprised I had the whole thing and the fruit look fresh so I’m about to have that and we are about an hour or so away from Landing all in all we’ve been enjoying the food drinks entertainment and service on this United flatback home just like that we are back at New York Liberty International Airport ready yeah what you waitting for just about that door and explore are you ready to part with me and this cruising family my cruising family
