Obviously it is serious,
But if you do have a bit of time for pleasure there, make sure you go to Min Jiang restaurant and have the apple-wood smoked peking duck. Truely amazing...
All the best.
Thanks for your kind thoughts.
Gordon my mate, has been shafted big time by his third wife, a lady from Bahrein, and since I last posted, I have been to Jedda, Lagos and now am in a rather chilly Cape Town, delivering a 747 to clear his slate.
Lagos is not a nice place, full of Nigerians and spivs, and Nigerians.
Its interseting travelling in the cockpit, they say the 747 flies itself.
CT is a nice town, however I am struck by the abject poverty as I whistle from one of his deals to another.
The townships are well run and functioning though beset by disease and a seething sense of a lost promise. The foreign Africans have played out their initial welcome. I attended a funeral this morning with one of Gordon's ANC mates, in a too full cemetery, mostly AIDS victims.
Am staying on the Waterfront with an ex wife of Gordons.
I have never seen so many Porches in my life, Jeez, I miss Townsville.
