We arrived in Cape Town, yesterday, and it feels like I've never been gone! Clear blue skies, moderate temperatures greeted us this morning, when we stepped out of the door. We even saw whales just an hour, ago, down in the bay at Seepoint, just 200 m off the shore. Sooo beautiful!!!
But I need to tell you about the following incident.
The last night in Hamburg we spent at Juergen's brother's place. Had some wine and went to bed at 2 o'clock in the morning, just to get up two hours later to drive to the airport. We had a nice taxi driver who managed to get all our luggage, including 2 surfboards and kite-surfing equipment, into his car. Once in the terminal we were looking at the board to see where we needed to check in. Funny enough our flight wasn't on it. Weird! So I looked at my watch, which showed the 7th of Oct. and all of the sudden I was in doubt... I asked Juergen what day it was, and he said: "Oh, it's Tuesday the 7th." I:"Are you sure?" Jeurgen: "Yes". So he ran to the phone booth to call the taxi driver, again, to tell him that it was the wrong day and we would need him to get back into Hamburg. While he was gone I tried to recall the happenings of the passed days, but couldn't really figure out, what day it was, still. So I asked some other people, which looked at me in a funny way and said: "It's Wednesday the 8th of October 2008, where did YOU come from?" So it WAS the RIGHT day. Juergen came back smiling, because he had accepted the fact that we were gonna fly one day later and would spend a nice relaxed day in Hamburg, only to hear from me, that he'd have to call the taxi driver, again, to tell him, that it was all a big mistake and we were gonna fly the same day..... Yes, this happens if you don't really care anymore what day and date it is... :-))) Then we found out that we had initially looked at the board with the arrivals instead of the one with the departures...
Enjoy the rest of the week!
