South Africa April 2013
The annual work trip to South Africa from April 1 to May 7 turned out to be a lovely time with some nice surprises.

I left San José on April 1, connected in Mexico City and Washington DC. From there to SA via Frankfurt. The return trip was the same with a connection in Munich. I have to mention here that unexpected to me, of all the flights the two outstanding ones were the two legs with SAA! Everything was super good, from the boarding to the food, something happened!

In SA I stays with Elaine as I do every year - a great thank you to her!

During the stay with her we were chatting about the old days and friends and decided to try to contact some. This started with me having made contact with Deon van der Walt some time before on FB. One thing led to the other and we had some amazing reunions with Deon at Elaine's house and then with Geoff and Gisi at their new house in Howick, with their kids Clive and Niki there as well! This was so cool to see them and catch up, in Deon's case after nearly forty years and Geoff & Gisi after some ten years.

Other interesting bits was to get to see the Mandela sculpture near Howick and the waterfall after 36 years!

The work I did during the time was all on time and without problems and I enjoyed the stay and meeting up with all the friends I could.

As always, click on the album and enjoy.
