Uneventful Travel is Good Travel & Seeing Cape Town in Daylight

We made it to Amsterdam and onward to Cape Town without any issue whatsoever.  Even through travel tales-of-woe make for interesting story telling, they're never fun to experience in the first place, so I'm glad to have nothing exciting to offer.

That said, here's a quick rundown:  our flight from Dulles left on-time and owed to a strong tail wind, arrived into Amsterdam about 6 1/2 hours later, which was almost two hours early.  Our Cape Town flight left on-time as well, lasted it's nearly twelve hours, and we arrived into Cape Town about five minutes early.  Bags arrived in-tact and on-time, and our driver was there as expected.  The hotel check-in was a breeze and the room is wonderful, including its views.

Here are photos taken from our suite's living room.  It was dark when we got in this morning, so imagine how breathtaking to see this as our first daylight impression!  (Lot's more narrative and photos coming on my website in a couple of weeks.)
