long time, I am no longer here in Cape Town. On Saturday 5 September is my flyer and Sunday afternoon, sometime around 1:30 am I then in Munich. the time my parents are here. Both have survived the 16 hours flight and are "fresh" and "lively" came from. at the same airport we rented a car and it went straight to the hotel. I also took a few days free. So we can do things together. is a detailed report on the final phase of my stay in South Africa it the next day. Last Sunday I, (about 1.5 hours from Cape Town) of the Maltese and the novel in the wine region of Stellenbosch were. We had great summer weather and have it let us go well on a wine farm. On the way back we visited spontaneously a colleague having in Paarl (about 1 hour from Cape Town) hotels. the evening was once again the Campsbay announced.
attacked a German butcher, the most beautiful toilet in the world discovered sailing made
stuff was going on again this weekend.
But before I get into that, you have to look at you this picture.
The 4 interns in Cape Town, South Africa (work hard on).
(I think this picture we need to hang in Memmingen in Pfeifer in the personnel department) "ggg"
Monday to Wednesday "day off" and then Patrol. Thu, Fri, Sat, so are the days here. (And not just fuartgeh-technical).
On Friday we went shopping in size. And although at a German butcher. We have in fact organized on Saturday a Brai with me on the terrace overlooking the sea.
Chicken kebabs, ostrich fillet, steak and meatloaf was because in addition to wine, beer and cocktails, salads, fish, etc. in the offer.
At peak times there are 9 people joined us on the terrace. The three interns, I and my two roommates, who paints and short-term and also T & T (Thorsten and Thorsten).
All screams for repeat and is carried out again as long as I'm definitely still here.
Otherwise, I discovered the toilet with the likely time for the best view of the world.
And indeed a Dixi-Klo with us on the stadium roof.
When I open the door you look at the Table Mountain, when you look the other side, you can see on the open ocean and on the waterfront. The impressive 50-meter increase in the compression ring (a 2.5 meter wide steel ring) - just fascinating.
the Sunday I was then entered into lightly. The other interns were on their way to the Cape of Good Hope. Since I already true and the Malta where we stayed "home".
We went to breakfast and then took a 1.5 hour sail.
the evening we had at first then with me on the balcony (sunset, wine bottle ,...) and then finish off in Camps Bay.
Tri-Nations Cup, Table Mountain climbing and Regulated by the Beverly Hills South
Yes, yes, many things We were allowed to do this weekend. The first makes the Tri-Nations Cup match of the Springboks against Australia here in Newlandsstadion in Cape Town. We were namely live performances. As I had reported many times in advance so that was the rugby event of the year here in Cape Town. Accordingly, the interest was what we mitbekamen on the way to the stadium. The Lord Schlögl was with some colleagues, including in the stadium, but in a different box from another company and so we were four interns alone in the top rope box. We have ordered a taxi to 2 clock (the game was first release by 5 clock) to the traffic chaos and get along in time to be on site. Everything worked out pretty well. And we still had enough time to eat before the game what to make and a few drinks (sponsored by top rope). The game and the atmosphere was much more fantastic. The stadium was sold out of course. (But fit in 51,000 spectators). And, as already described, this is a pure pandemonium. On one side of the stands go even further than 7 levels. Just almost straight up. After the game we had in our box again a lot of fun. We know now already, and so makes it much more fun. about 11 counter-clock we went by taxi to Cape Town in the direction where we end the evening on Long Street. On Saturday was our table then climb to the program. - Genial -. Below was a bit of fog or very low-lying clouds and the top of Table Mountain was one in the bright sunshine above the clouds. " have course we won our bet. It took us 1.5 hours up. The Wesley (our Health and Safety Officer) said if we do it in 2 hours we are good. He has probably underestimated us a little bit of Bavaria. must also admit we're pretty quick running high. The what was already quite go to something else like the last time the cable car up. Is better if one can say that one foot of Table Mountain has climbed. enjoy 2 hours sun on the beach were still inside even before we opened ourselves again in the evening after Campsbay. Because it is so beautifully simple, here are a few pictures of my new apartment on the beach. Oh one more thing: What need my eyes for there to witness. After much consideration, it was clear to me then. You have the Alex blindfolded with the hope that he might then take the ball better right?
As you might could you read out on my last blog entry is here at the moment pretty much "haywire". auto login, the procession and to take care of the new interns.
short re-register the car: course, the car that I bought from Bernd, then register. I also need a traffic License here in South Africa. All this would be our said Health and Safety Officer Wesley no problem and can it do for me. this I would need only one text signed by Bernd that he gave me the car was sold. I also had the power of attorney Wesley issue that he is allowed to register my car for me, passport photo, money and documents of Bernd he needed also. had finally I drove all together and Wesley to Traffic Department. He came with the words "no luck" again. I had to work himself well. I did not know where the Traffic Department is accurate, I have the Sasha (our secretary) taken as a driver. Once there was a 15m long queue and we were both pretty busy in the office we went again reversed and drove back to "the most beautiful site in the world," as she calls my roommate our project. Standing on the roof of the football stadium, and looks up the mountain and can see whales in the Atlantic. I tried my luck finally this morning at 8 clock. It was, as predicted by Sascha, not much going on and I was able to rush to an open switch. where I got the good news that I need 2 passport photos, and of course I only had one in the bag. ie, get back to Clifton and my second passport photos. No stop - I've got a date - and at half-9th at this time was the landlord of the apartment of the new interns to Sir Francis to inspect them. I looked to him so we stopped at the apartment and all deficiencies in writing. order now far from talking to the bush, I now have all the documents for my new car. I only say one thing: Who can live in South Africa re reporting a car and to request a Treffic-License, which is prepared for all other problems of this world. morning we have further back. By 3 clock I have to be in my new apartment. As someone comes and repaired our alarm in the house the total spins. And we have already seen 3 times before. There are, as in every home in South Africa, an alarm system are called "hot" must make when you walk out of the house (enter code, then you have to leave the house sec.um 30) and at home are the same. For three people (no one knows whether someone is at home and whether the alarm just a one-off or has) a very big problem. But we now know by now that The alarm works and within 3 minutes, a fully armed security with West income, etc. outside the front door is the finger on the trigger. But on the third day in a row, he knew us already and find it almost funny that 3 engineers are not with the alarm on the series. on my car registration documents for me is just the "name" of my new address became really aware. "No.4, 2nd Clifton Beach, Cape Town" sounds somehow to cool. Otherwise, it makes with the new 2 interns, and Philip Benjamin, a lot of fun. If we are to 4 go to the Gulf by Einser Cape Town is always a Gaude. On the second day, the statements of Benjamin and Philip: "I will never back away from Cape Town" or "this is a dream here, the most beautiful city in the world." clear Ganz. Were on the Long Street Springbok eat (the flesh disintegrates on the tongue) with a fine South African wine, what more could you want. morning the Lord sends us Schlögl four interns at a lecture by the chief structural engineer of the stadium roof. The whole place tomorrow at 8 clock (with breakfast) instead and I'm very excited. This is a very, very interesting to the previous day. The roof is in fact a real static "miracle". The entire roof structure is deposited almost exclusively at one point. All other Vertical forces are dissolved in air. The roof spans 60 meters (16m alone the cantilever) and stored only on one point. Simply brilliant. create Perhaps I also have some time to provide a more detailed explanation, but this must come again until regular schedule.
{On Sunday, about 30 degrees in the sun, blue sky} (as could almost every day here in deepest winter), I initially picked up at 4:30 our two new interns from the airport. Philip and Benjamin are the two that come from Munich and complete register their internship semester. Both are difficult in order and very nice. All two are housed at the Sir Francis. One at my apartment (my old apartment, I moved to: see below) and for the others we've rented an apartment in between. So between my past and the home of Gabriel. We have spent a long time and are not at the same great weather at half past 6 in the direction of Clifton (where my beach house is) set off to the sunset on this beautiful beach to enjoy. Then we drove then straight on to Camps Bay for dinner and then to a beach bar. (This is the hottest place on Sunday in Cape Town). Great atmosphere, right on the beach with palm trees and ocean, etc. join Moreover, there really super cool people. Yesterday was the rugby legend (still playing as a "C" for the Springboks) as John Smit. (Together with two colleagues and the "C" of the cricket team from South Africa was also present, which turned out in retrospect. As described many times before rugby and cricket almost sacred in South Africa and Jon Smit a superstar. He was even 2007, as South Africa Rugby World Cup was as captain of the Springboks on the field. (as were the news today on TV and of course again Previews of the game against Australia this Saturday here in Cape Town, he was to see large). And exactly who was next to us stood at the bar. Of course we have the same photographic evidence. Apart from the live to see 1.98 m, 119 kg (lean muscle mass) was very impressive. said and how in retrospect when you look a little bit of information that was one of the best experiences here. Nice and slow we've got the knack, where you can be at what day in Cape Town. Thursday Jeads "the place to be is on Thursday.
But now really on the subject about which I wanted to tell you for days. I moved to Clifton at the beach.
This is our dream beach: Our patio And our view from the living room:
Here now is the report that I had actually prepared for you:
... . I will then move together with the two new interns, who arrive on Sunday at 16.30 clock in CT).
That sounds at first as a unique range of what you should not refuse.
three interns in a beach hut in Cape Town with your own car (my Einser City Golf course).
Clifton is located approximately between Green Point (where I live now and where the stadium is) and Camps Bay (the Nobel resort where we are at the coffee drinking and bathing are).
As I said: It's located right on the beach. The view from the living room and bedroom walks past palm trees rocks and fine white sand on the sea.
The first days are determined bad sleeping. The sea can hear incredibly loud.
determined but an incredible feeling wake up and to rest directly on the beach (bedroom and living room have a huge glass window as a "wall").
And here five weeks to live. To a beautiful beach where you are normally not reach in 1,000 years but just great - right?
course now come the disadvantages.
I have in the first line not have a flat for me. Here (I've described many times before) I live in a separate housing with a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, balcony, directly overlooking the Green Point Stadium and the harbor.
In Clifton While everyone has his own bedroom (two down, one above) has. But only a Bad. (Evlt. also two, I'm not sure).
But if one looked at the beginning sets up rules and take up the consideration, then there will be no problems.
And one's just "away from Cape Town. So we must def. Min.10 minutes drive is up to the Sir Francis. And if you directly into the "inner city", Waterfront or Long Street will be best man. 15 min einrechnen. (The taxi is more expensive, of course, again) and we always have to arrange a threesome with the car.
But basically we are anyway all day at work and Sunday which is then not a major problem.
For dinner, we can then also a few Time to Camps Bay. This is about 5 minutes away.
I also identify the two new interns still have no idea with whom I live from Sunday almost 24 hours.
As you can see, another great adventure, which opens here.
But I think it was the right decision. Such an opportunity I never more.
So, that was the text I had originally prepared for you.
But as so often in life everything is different.
And although I do not live together with the two new interns, but with Yuri and Alex.
