Re: Goodbye England Hello South Africa
Oom Aartappel & antie Sweetpotatoe are safe in sunny SA.
Thanks Dreman55 for the kind offer of assistance, you have a pm.
They arrived at 07h00 this morning & the bulletin board had me cooling my heels at the wrong exit but we finally hooked up. Naturally I lost my parking ticket & we had a further delay.
Naturally we had problems with hiring a car as well as getting Bobby, the loveliest cat out of customs, it took Oom & myself to get very agressive before action even though the paperwork was completely in order.
We came back to my place & they freshened up & had some refreshments before leaving for the hot spot. They are on the road as I type & I imagine we will have plenty of interaction with this great guy in the future.
Safe journey Jerry & I will definitely be there for the housewarming party.

Hi RV,
Many thanks for all your help. I am sure it is much appreciated by Jerry & Babs. Nice to come to a new country and be helped by a fellow aviator.
Well done mate.
I am also planning at being at the house warming.
Cheers

Although ... It is a Sycamore, so it's nice and Comfy!

True, it is more comfy inside, however... Easyplan says, at 70mph average it will take 14hours and 32minutes and I will use 282 litres.Trikenut wrote: Len, you'll have a 'slightly' longer time getting there in the gyro than a Boeing!
