it was one of my longest journeys but finally I arrived in Lime Acres! Yes. Oh you don't know what it is or where it is? Well if you follow the link on the debeers
website "http://www.debeersgroup.com/debeersweb/Diamond+Journey/De+Beers+Global+Operations/" (I don't know how to enter it as a link :-( ) you will find a red dot named 'Finsch' that's where 'Lime Acres' is located. 'Finsch' is the name of the mine and 'Lime Acres' the name of the little town.
It is approx. 680 km from Johannesburg and that is the distance I had to drive after my long-distance-night-flight. I (once again) hardly found any sleep. It was the first time though that two passengers on board got seriously ill...so there was constant action with hectic stewardesses and they never really switched the light off.
Anyway, after such a wonderful time in the plane with almost no sleep I got my rental car and started driving. It is actually quite cool to drive through the
desert on your one. There is not much to see but it is fascinating... You have a lot of time to think about your life and the ones you love...
My best friend Katie was singing wonderful songs like 'closest thing to crazy' and I felt good. After 500km or so though I started to feel my tiredness or to be more precise I feld a few times the adrenalin in my blood when my hands slipped of the steering wheel. I never thought it could happen but I really fell a sleep without realising it... Scary!!!!
I opened the windows slept my-self hard in my face and then I finished the trip! And now I am here and will get bored to death over the weekend...
You guys/girls must enjoy yours...
