Thank Len,

Ja the mist was thick! I aslo left around 10:30 and the mist was still heavy. At least we had a lekke breakfast vhpy

We are planning a follow up after the world cup, maybe next time.

Everybody is still well come for a visit! Just say when, even just for a worsie op die kole!

The fog was so thick at Diemerskraal at 6:45 that I had to use my GPS to find the turn-off from the R45 ... Abandoned the wait around 10:00. Paarl was clearing up by then nicely, but Diemerskraal itself and North- and Westwards it looked like there was no chance for opening.

With the preparation done (thanks for everyone for the help!), flying into Saldanha sounds a lot less daunting now. I'll definitely make the trip sometimes soon.

Cheers,

V.

What a pity about the fog. :( :(

We landed at buffelsfontein at 12h00, because we couldn't get into saldanha because of the fog. Had a breakfast, but not were we wanted to.

Pity about the mist. But we had a nice graze at Buffelsfontein.

Some pics of the detour.
