Today, again, was a really really wonderful day! But I start getting tired of those ass-kissers that always show a faked smile and give crooked compliments and slag you in your back.
We did a wine tour today. We had a german speaking driver and guide. She was born in Namibia and speaks perfect English, Afrikaans and German without any accent. We visited three wine farms and tried dozens of white, rosé and red wines as well as port wines. We saw wine cellars and the very old farms and farmlands around the old colony Stellenbosch.
When we drove back to Cape Town on the highway we had a nice view on the Waterfront and the harbor and I saw Polarstern the first time in my life. Maybe it sounds overstated but as I really look forward to the day after tomorrow and the coming three months, I was quite impressed, seeing this ship, the old lady, for the first time.
Lutz, a guy we met before, had contact to Polarstern and told us, that they are not allowed to land as it was plnned. A crane is broken in the harbor and it will take several hours, until this is fixed.. Poor crew, poor scientists on board!
