South Africa: The 2015 Journey

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Just an opening post to remind people, myself included, that I'm leaving Norway right now and will be heading far down south. Hopefully Elsa finds me at the airport of Cape Town some time tomorrow.

Don't dance on the tables in my absence though - I'm promised wi-fi access in the days to come Besides, the remainder of the Team will be on patrol.

Safe journy and to both of you; Have fun 

Looking forward to see some of the images...

[Thomas Stellwag]

I want to see a picture of a South African garden with a bear in 

[Björn Carlén]

From my own experience wifi is awfully slow in ZA.
Beautiful country, though.
And excellent wine.

[Frank Fremerey]

I want to see the bear with a bear in Elsa's garden.

WI-Fi has just been CANCELLED 

Looking forward to having my own NG get together - with Richard Adcock and Bjørn.

[Fanie]

I may just get reckless and leave the family all on their own and join you guys for a glass of wine 

[Frank Fremerey]

Adcock? Never heared that name

[Jørgen Ramskov]

Have a safe trip Bjørn. I hope all of you have a great time and really look forward to the pictures.

SAA South African Airways did their best to kill me with awful poor aircondition and elevated stuffy and hot atmosphere on their flights. Resulted in two in-flight asthma attacks, the last a really bad one one precipated by rushing me to a connecting flight for which the flight interval was too short.

Elsa found me at last at Cape Town International in a slightly ragged state.  So I'm here.

[Frank Fremerey]

Poor old bear. Hope Elsa will bring you to your feet again.

Funny I just read that Ann Shelbourne is in the arrival too at ZA

[Jakov Minić]

I am certain Elsa is an elixir
Take care!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

The FZ crowd is in a different part of the country. No problem as far as I'm concerned.

[Jørgen Ramskov]

That doesn't sound too pleasant, hopefully the rest of the trip will be much better

Vinnige Fanie, vat my saam!

Sorry guys, but above comment only works in the language it was written in, and with the inclusion of some local history, and will lose everything in translation, so I will not even try.

But also it is tongue in check, and has no relevance to anything, so anybody who doesn't understand it is also not really missing anything.

Bjorn, I hope you really enjoy your visit, unfortunately the weather in cape town seems to be typically useless right now. A friend of mine says the Cape weather is just like a baby. if it is not wet, it is windy. Perhaps you should have stopped here in Johannesburg, where we are currently in the middle of summer (almost). But then, the wine is served better down there.
