We decided a fun way to start our time in Cape Town would be a helicopter flight over the city. This was the first time in a helicopter for both myself and Pete so we were both pretty excited. We found a company who specialised in Huey helicopters (the large military choppers used in Vietnam war)... however unfortunately the CIA were investigating them for buying helicopters straight from the American military and had grounded their fleet for a while. Anyway we decided to take a trip on one of their normal 4 seater choppers instead.
Pete got to sit up front whilst Mum, Dad & myself sat in the back. The ride lasted 30 mins gave a view of both the Atlantic & Indian Oceans. When we crossed over to the Indian Ocean side of Cape Town we spotted a bush fire... as we got closer we saw two fire helicopters taking sea water and dumping it on top of the fire. Very quickly they had managed to extinguish the flames, which to my delight I managed to capture on film.
