A visit to South Africa
Hi all,
Juss got back from SAfrica after a long journey.
Before I start this Thread I need to say a big THANK YOU to Mr Pieter Heyneman for his hospitality.
I have got a few photos that I would like to share with all of you.
The first sequence is of the RIBs and the race that never took place due to very rough sea conditions.
The second (which will do tomorrow) is of the FALCON factory and shop, Swellendam, and some of the areas we visited.
Enjoy
