It is EARLY in the morning, the rain has starting coming down since late yesterday afternoon, rather heavy, and I am now sitting in the departure lounge, Cape Town International. It feels a bit like Leonard Cohen. The coffee shop is not yet open, it is winter solstice after all. Well this afternoon i will be in the summer solstice ;-)
Last night we spent a family evening. The girls wanted sushi so Christelle and I took them out. They did really well in their exams (both academic and dancing) so there was a lot to celebrate ;-)
It was a real rush (in the work sense) to get here - for weeks i have been slaving away, only able to see on the internet how the Rieti pilots are flying in overseas contests (and on OLC - Patrick Gai had a real nice (and fast) flight two days ago).
So i am really glad to be on my way, keen to get to Rieti and looking forward to really enjoying Italy.
Ulf, i am on LH2955 (ex Cape Town) and i only have SMS on my handy (till we get Italian simcards). Watch out for Spotmessenger tracking later today
On the flight i will be reading some literature courtesy of Bill Elliot (who won the 18m USA nationals) - thanks Bill.
regards for now
Sven
