Snow in Plettenberg bay




550 km east of Cape Town lies the quaint but in the sumer time rediculously busy town of Plettenberg bay.

The observant holiday makers will remember this is were Bernadette let me in on her holiday enterprise by enabling it for online shopping.

Something tell me, I should have kept the domain and sold it for a mint, as the new owner of it seems to make good bucks out of it : "
The luxury Bed & Breakfast with exciting views"



Anyways this story is about how we were there only at the end of April, when the weather was absolutely fantastic.

Now check how the snow is covering the town at seaside level... (Right picture is a reference as to what is SHOULD have looked like, if you ask me).

Airport security on its highest

The trip to attend the Hyperion conference in Lyon, turned out to test
my patience to the largest extent...

Arriving at the airport and walking through the standard security, I
was pulled aside to participate in their ongoing experiment, the "pose
nude machine". Partially intimidated by being in the securityarea, I
told the officual, I was NOT happy about this. To this he answered
that is fine, just sign on a refusal form. I wonder how many similar
to me does not realise this is a test and let their fatrolls blossom
in the middle of the airport...

Anyways this was only the start. Wait for the rest. It is priceless
