Thanks for the tip…I think.

So I picked up this book at Borders, The Eyewitness Travel Top 10 Cape Town and the Winelands guide, and we’ve been thumbing through it, learning about the places we are visiting. What’s this? Page 106 has a handy chart… let’s see here:

Top 10 Things to Avoid
1. Road Hazards – no prob
2. The Sun – yup
3. Snakes – gotcha
4. Feeding Baboons – ok sure
5. HIV / AIDS – what?!
6. ATM Scams
7. Mugging
8. Weather Changes on the mountain
9. Swimming in Dangerous Conditions
10. Drunk Driving on Wine Routes

Hey, thanks for the tips!

Under Feeding the Baboons it says “Baboons fed by people perceive them as a source of food…”  ok, cool. I will keep the Jerky to myself.
Under Avoiding AIDS it recommends using a condom. Am I going on Safari or to the prom?
I do love however that the tenth most dangerous activity that may befall me is drinking too much. No lion bites or Malaria on this list.
