Arrived in Amsterdam 8 hours after departure. Spent three hours walking around on Schipol airport. Fairly quiet and some of the booths were just opening up at seven in the morning. On my second flight from Amsterdam to Johannesburg, I saw snow, central African drought, and a beautiful sunset. I arrived well after 11 Monday evening and slept in a hotel on the airport. Of course, my room was at the end of this hellish passage:
My mom was a prolific painter in her younger days. I have photographed many of them before, but I realized the ones hanging on her walls, have yet to be documented: The visit proved to beat real summer visit, with daytime temperatures staying around 27C and minimums rarely getting below 17C. An open door and windows are the cooling systems in many of the houses and a safety gate in front of the door, advertises that you are not open to burglary. The crime rate in South Africa is still very high!
