Addo Elephant Park and Port Alfred (Sunday, 18. October 2009)

We've been at the Addo Elephant park and Port Alfred. I'll let the pictures speak for itself.




We've also been at the "Born Free" park where rescued animals have a shelter. There was a lion called "Aslan" (which we didn't see). He was rescued from Greece. The story about him is quite sad but he and his "girl-friend" are now well taken care off. I got a stuffed "Aslan" for my younger daughter Ann-Sophie.


Another great day is over. On our way back to East London/Gonubie I was thinking about how can I best summarize my experiences after the first two weeks here in South Africa? What did I learn or what will I take away from this amazing time. So here are my "learnings":

1. Step back, think and then make a plan which is aggressiv. When executing it then try to reduce to what's really needed.

2. Go the extra mile if needed but alway enjoy and have fun.

3. Friendliness is very contagious. Everyone is so friendly here. As long as it’s not for to hide something friendliness is a wonderful thing.

4. Seeing the poverty it makes me feel that all my problems are super small. How lucky am I? I better appreciate what I have.

5. The teaming here is great. Everyone is trying to accomodate but also to bring in themselves as much as possible. Those are probably the two key factors for a great teaming.

cd review

by Norman DarwenThe first four tracks encapsulate Arkansas-born Billy Jones. ...a wicked, raw, live version of Albert King's 'Personal Manager', 'my Hometown', a bleak, stark portrayal of the ghetto set to a busy but laid-back and bluesy musical commentary that epitomizes what some have defined as his "gangsta bluez" (...though it is perhaps even better on 'Ain't Good Lookin'), the rocking, rollicking, down-home, and subtly Howling Wolf inflected 'Blues Comes Callin'' and the bluesy/ reggae…See More
