Our group once again met in the great Mhlozi Bush Camp in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa, near Pongola & close to the Swaziland border and Jozini Lake.

 

This year I learnt a new Zulu expression:  "phezulu phansi"

Would you experience walking with the hunters in the early hours of the day, then you understand easily the concept of getting up and down the hills permanently. Going "phezulu phansi" is a great but tiring experience at the end.

 

We also experienced on the 23 Aug full day a very hot northern wind (44C) called The Berger.

 

We had a lot of discussions about all and nothing and I'll try to provide some additional lights on those major topics here down:

- The Mulhouse - France Bugatti Museum: http://citedelautomobile.com/en/home

- Local Google Map here. The height's difference is a good 350m Hans, well guessed!

- An incredible website to follow world air traffic: http://planefinder.net/

- Latvia (Lituanie in French) has Riga for capital. (internet code .LV)

 

 

Special thanks to Hans for his perfect organization and to each one of this lovely group including Gabby, Mike, Ray, Pieter, Chris, Hans and myself. 

 

Kind regards, Gerard.
