The first RSA NE party is history. I took John to the airport yesterday afternoon. He joined up with his wife Christine for their holiday in the Cape.

I think we had a good time on Friday evening, the cigars John had offered us was outstanding. It was the first time that I finished smoking a full cigar, there is a big difference between RSA cigars and Cuban cigars. The Cubans can roll a cigar.

I welcomed everybody with a shot of Hakkiesdraad, John traveling the furthest was first in the row after I demonstrated how it must be dranked. We had fun for the rest of the evening and eventually went to bed at around 01h00. Needless to say we slept in a little bit on Saturday morning.

I am sure John brought the Springboks some good luck, they won their first match in the tri-nations series, Thanks John.

I had a look at his photos on the Elephant hunt, he got over 700 photos. We will see some quality photos once he is back in Oz.

Some of the members missed out on the party due to work or illness. It would have been good to have them with us but the unexpected Murphy will always wreck plans.

I wish John and Christine a wonderfull holiday in the Cape, enjoy the SA wines and have fun.
