...to do the things you wouldn't do with your own car!

As done on one of the pans in Botswana with a nice new Golf V. It was great to experience the unpowered forces...

After that great weekend in Cape Town I spend 1 day in Johannesburg today befor I will fly up to Orapa again. It was quite a shock to land in Johannesburg! It is very dry now and from the plan you can see all the field fires and burned places in this area. There was a thick brownish layer over the city... What a difference to the beach of CT!

At least my 2nd home, "The Oakland Inn" was nice as ever:

After spending a 10 days in the dessert desert of Botswana (Orapa Mine) it was a pleasure to be able to fly to Cape Town for a meeting and spend the weekend there.
When I landed on Friday morning though, I thought it had actually been a bad idea. During the descent of the plan you could see nothing but a white endless ocean with many turbulences shaking the plan. Once through the cloud the plan immediately touched ground - the clouds were hanging very deep!
It was miserable and could in the city. It poured cats and dogs, it was windy and very cold. We had a meeting with ADP about the set-up of our MikroSort project in Namibia. Everything is on track and both companies (Scan & Sort and ADP) work very close together in a very friendly way. It was 20.45 when we finally left ADP.

The next morning most of the clouds were gone and we had a wonderful view onto Table Mountain from our apartment.

From then onwards Cape Town showed us its nicest side. Christian (my colleague from Scan & Sort) fell in love straight away with this part of the world. I must agree it was a dream to stay there!

Shame I had to leave to soon again...
