Today the few days of vacation turned into a visit to the Table mountain. The cable car had been closed for a couple of days due strong winds but was reopened this morning. We felt lucky even if the wait for the tickets and the cable car took over 1,5 hours. Many...

I must confess that I can already miss the everyday adventures with new tasks and flying to new and unknown territory. Even if the updates late in the evenings, with very poor internet at the best, was tiring and difficult - I also kind of miss that. Now I do not have...
