Everything is well here in Pretoria. Have been helping out with various stuff around the
property etc. We have a few guests staying these days. Taking Holgers two nice labradors
Bruno III and Thor for a walk/run every morning and afternoon. Allmost every house around here have tall fences around them, survelliance cameras and last but not least some nasty dogs guarding the properties. Thats a constant reminder of the high crime-rate here in South Africa. The police is also very vissible at the moment because of the Confederations Cup in football. But besides their presence two football-teams have been robbed. The brazilian team one of them. The crime-problems here are one of FIFAs main-concerns with the World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Anyway thats just bad stuff. It seems like a wonderfull country which Im looking forward to experience more of and I really like the south african accent...
Yesterday we went for a short drive doing some shopping. Gave me the opportunity to see some areas around Pretoria. The city has a population of about 1.65 mio. Its situated about 1300 m above sealevel and is surronded by a few mountains ( for a dane its mountains...). You can also feel the altitude a bit when you are running. If there is time for it I will go into Pretoria in the weekend and experience the sights there. Among others Im planning to see the court building where Mandela was sentenced to life imprissonment and The Union Building where the new president Zuma resides etc.
Best regards here from Pretoria...
