Tuesday, Cape Town
After our morning meeting we all piled into two shuttle busses with all of the personal cold-weather gear and science equipment that we had brought to Cape Town, and headed to the aircraft hangar at the airport.

All of our gear was weighted, sorted, inventoried, and stacked for loading on the C-130 for our flight to Troll Station scheduled to leave tomorrow night.
After lunch, we split into teams to 1) visit a drug store to pick up more sunscreen, soap, and toothpaste; 2) go to a bank to get US dollars to buy T-shirts, post cards, etc., when we arrive at the South Pole station; 3) finalize the cargo manifest; and 4) make sure our local expeditor purchased the correct rope and air compressor parts that we require before leaving Cape Town.- Glen
