Yzerfontein

The nature of my job entails a fair bit of travelling from the mother city to Joeys and Durban. This is almost always cattle class, but occasionally I get bumped up to business class - like last night - apparently there was a lot of free space up front as the Proteas cricket team was travelling back on this flight! My colleague questioned whether they should be allowed to sit up front after their performance.

It was the first time I had seen most of them in person. Boucher looks shorter than I expected and Smith taller. They were well tanned, but looked weary. At Cape Town International there were about 10 people (waiting for them?) and one photographer waiting....the lot of a losing team.
