Show Notes
Mason & Dixon continue on the early stage of their journey, making their way to, and spending time in, Cape Town. While there, they encounter paranoid Dutch authorities, women who throw themselves at guests of their house for nefarious purposes, and ketjap; so much ketjap. All while they await the transit of Venus—an astronomical event which will impact all who witness it.
