Snow in Johannesburg
Yup, it snowed last night and this morning. It wasn't much (only about
an inch at most), but considering that the last time it snowed here was 10 September1981, it's quitye a momentous occasion. It's freezing cold at the moment, and the weatherman is predicting even colder temps tonight. If you're coming to Joburg in the next few weeks, bring some warm clothing. :-) We're generally not prepared for the cold here. Marc |

Must be great for the kids who have just gotten their holidays. I am flying south tomorrow, so I'll pack an extra sweater. Even though I am used to it and won't call this really cold, it will still feel chilly. Luckily I do not intend to stay very long in Jo'burg and head straight for Kruger. Hope it is warmer there. :-) Regards, Hans |

So this area is quite warm for the winter at this moment. Just got home again after travelling for 28 hours...... :-( And Air France managed to loose our bagage on the flight to South Africa as well as on the return trip! Bunch of %#$%#$%%##!!!! I'll write more about the trip later. I am just too tired now. We had rains for three days in a row in Kruger. The first two days (Letaba) were moderate but raining nearly al day. The last day of the rains (while staying in Sirheni) they were absolutely HUGE (and the roof leaking). I have never seen the north of kruger (all those 88 million boring Mopane trees :-) so green this time of year. .-) Evenings, nights and mornings were freezingly cold. Even with 4 blankets. The last week in the south (Biyamiti) was very nice and warm. Regards, Hans |
