Neulich im Gym...

...lief doch mitten in der V-Box class (thai-bo) die techno version von Bluemchens "Ich hab nur von Dir getraeumt". Und da hoert man ueberall das Land sei im Aufschwung...

Diesen Schwank musste ich einfach mal loswerden ;)

Visitors aus der Heimat

From Guys - Cape Town

My first visitors made their way to South Africa at the end of September, Andreas, Matthias and Philipp (Andreas took a bit longer due to the courtesy of Air France). I put in a few days leave and we travelled the country. Highlights included

• A South African braai
• Mixing German and Indian cuisine
• Safari in Pilanesberg
• Crayfish, (Languste), Wine tasting, Moyo’s, clubbing at the Hemisphere above downtown (ABSA Tower) and stunning landscapes in Cape Town
• Table Tennis tournament and hilarious horse riding in the Drakensberg
• Deep Sea fishing (and baiting) in Umhlanga, Durban
• A farewell evening including Poker and the Lionking at Montecasino

to name a few (feel free to add guys). The weather could have been better sometimes, but I enjoyed having you over!

Due to the huge amount of pictures being taken I had to make a selection which can be accessed in these folders:

From Guys-Joburg

Well done bokke!

They did it! After 8 weeks of an exciting tournament in France which gripped the whole nation the Springboks proved to be the best of the 20 teams and deservedly won the Rugby world cup 2007!

After the Saturday's victory over a better than expected playing English side in the final, gold and green celebrations lasted the whole night in the streets of Joburg and everywhere else in South Africa.

The players could be sure to have the support of a whole nation (even news presenter's and member's of parliament were wearing green jerseys to work) and being part of it is quite an experience, surely comparable to Germany winning the soccer world cup. By coincidence this will happen in this country the next time... I can't wait...
