Day Two

Lindberg Lodge to Haartebeestpoort

Today we get to Meet the Fokkers!!  We have left the two slow aircraft to continue to Botswana by themselves, they are due to meet up with Shaun and JP at Pilansberg, but Shaun smsed early this morning to say that hehas had to pull out.  So we are down to 12 aircraft. 

We had a very pleasant uneventful flight to Aviators Paradise.  I believe that Johan and Bryan have had some excitement, once they landed at Pilansberg with not too much fuel they were told no fuel.  They managed to get a lift to a filling station and filled the big container that Johan is carrying and then diverted to Rustenburg to fill up and then onto Gabarone.  We have not heard from them and so we presume that all went well.

We landed at Aviators Paradise, a strip just east of the Magaliesberg ridge and were met by Ralph, Sanet and Hentie.  It has been great to meet the people that have taken Ralph into their hearts.  And we have been spoilt very well by the de Wets.
