Sixteen years ago I was in South Africa getting ready to fly home after conducting a two week training course. Little did I know that it would take me days to get home.

So, tonight as I was out walking I thought of a few things that I remember about the trip.

I remember getting some great fish and ships at Fish on the Rocks at Hout Bay. I should have some good fish and chips later this month when I am in England.

I also remember the colorful beach houses at False Bay that we saw while taking a quick tour of the Capetown area.

Not all the shacks were so nice though. Here is a view of one of the shanty towns. Many people live in these makeshift structures.

A great memory from South Africa is being introduced to Nando’s which started in South Africa and is now a world wide restaurant chain.

Another thing to look forward to in England is a trip to Nando’s in Cambridge.

OK, one more picture. At the time I took this picture at the Cape of Good Hope it was the furthest south I had been. I have since surpassed this by quite a bit.

I have been 30 degrees further south at 64°50′. I haven’t been quite as far north at only 61°21′.

Now to get back to watching the hurricane coverage.
