A text a few weeks before our Capetown trip my amazing friend Tammy told us she had booked us in to a drag/cabaret theatre evening but that the show was upstairs but no problem as the guys would carry me up. Cue minor panic as I hate being carried in my wheelchair but my wish to see the show won over.
I really shouldn’t have worried!!!!
From arrival I didn’t feel like it was causing a problem as they carried me up the entrance step and lip before asking me if I wanted to be carried to the theatre before or after everyone.
So after everyone else went up two gloriously hunky men carried me in my chair to my seat.
The show was hilarious and I laughed so hard and the girls were so lovely before 2 yummy men carried me back down again when we were ready to go.
Many of you know the fear of letting others be in control of your wheel chair and causing extra work for people so I cannot praise the staff at gate 69 in Cape town enough for making me not feel an imposition in my chair.
More places should do more like this to assist people without them feeling like they’re causing a problem. Many UK places should take note. Gate 69 you’re amazing!
How Rare?
