To add to the good news, I checked with the pilot and it turns out that both the bikes are co-incidentally on SA226 and will arrive in BA with us although its unlikely that they will come out on the conveyer belt with the rest of our luggage.<\/p>\n<p>The flight itself is like any other long distance daytime flight, sleeping, eating and too many movies! The bonus however is the gaining of 5 hours which makes the jetlag easier to manage and that we still get an opportunity to see a little of Buenos Aires when going out to dinner.<\/p>\n<p>I had forgotten, since it has been about 3 years since I was last here, that the steak houses in Buenos Aires don&#8217;t serve steaks, they serve entire cows. Mistakenly, we each ordered a meal, each of which would have been adequate to feed a small village in a remote African country as can be seen from my mothers schnitzel below. (Roland, you should move here\u2026600g fillet for R250 bucks!!) Needless to say, the meal plus a great bottle of Argentine Malbec was an awesome way to start our time in BA.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1596.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" title=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1596_thumb.jpg\" width=\"649\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><em>SA226, carrying us, the supermodel and little fatty to BA.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" title=\"\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1600_thumb.jpg\" width=\"649\" height=\"371\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Jacqs and I<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2746.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px\" title=\"IMG_2746\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_2746\" src=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2746_thumb.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"851\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><em>Mom trying to devour a crumbed calf!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the day that has been in the planning for over a year has now finally arrived.
