Stranded in Darkest Africa

As is apparent from the photograph, Jon and Amanda are devastated that their flight to London via Dubai has been cancelled,  and so will have to remain in Cape Town until the volcanic cloud disperses. They are now at the Capetonian Hotel near the waterfront, and Amanda was today interviewed by Radio Cornwall, to speak of the privations of being stranded in darkest Africa. I would love to hear of what is happening to other Comminution '10 delegates who are travelling home to, or via, Europe.  Email me at bwills@min-eng.com.

Meanwhile, after breakfast at the Blouberg Manor Hotel, Barbara and I walked a few miles along the beach at Bloubergstrand, which stretches endlessly northwards. We then called in at Moyo's restaurant for a site inspection with the functions manager, to assess its suitability as a dinner venue for future MEI Conferences.  Later in the afternoon, we had an excellent meal at the restaurant.

Tomorrow we travel up the Namaqualand coast to Paternoster, and hope to be in internet contact there.
