A change from RSA

This is a picture of me at work. I actually don't work in the warehouse anymore, I am dedicated to the maintenance of equipment for one customer group. Both on their electronic board (SMT) production line and supporting the maintenance of the back end equipment as well. When this picture was taken I was also helping out in our large automated warehouse. I was in the racking with my supervisor checking out some damage. (One of the heavy cranes hit a pallet - think wooden plate - that was sticking out and it caused the whole frame to bend in one place!)

Signpost

Classic tourist device, yet I found it exciting since the South Pole was so damned close! (in a sense) This sign is near the Lighthouse at Cape Point in South Africa.

I don't know if you can tell but it is very windy in this picture. It was also a long walk to get up here! This is Mamy Cathy and Pascale near the end of the world.

Cape Point

This is the 2nd most southern tip of Africa. (The most southern one is slightly east of where we are) You could walk down to that little building you see in on the narrow cliff top but the view from this lighthouse location was magnificent.

Bury your head

Another amazing animal to see running beside your car. To see it eat, walk, all free right beside the road! What a time we had! Coming soon will be pics of 'Cape of Good Hope.'

Tease not...

 


When you either show something they recognize as food, or put something towards your lips these animals get very agitated. We were warned that if on foot we were to encounter these creatures we should back away very slowly, and raise nothing in our hands to our mouths. (Even water bottles) They will deem themselves higher up than us and will get angry that we are eating instead of them.

In this picture our tour guide showed the banana and started to drive slowly, the animal you see here got mad, loud and started to run beside the car just staring at us!

Ok, so sure this is in the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve. It still could have stood in for those far away mountains I loved in Lord of the Rings!

Being here and feeling the immensity of this place was amazing. This is the 1er picture we will look at during our trip to Cape Point.
