Aren’t you fascinated by the people who you sit next to on aeroplanes?  I am, and I am one of those irritating people who strike up conversations with strangers on planes.

I flew to Cape Town today (the photo was taken at the Waterfront when we went for a walk this evening), and I sat next to a fascinating person!

Him and his partner flew into South Africa from Oregon, US… and the reason… to dig for crystals in the Kalahari!  They’re not here for long, only 16 days… which to me is MAD!  Why come all this way for such a short time?  They’d just arrived in the country and were spending 2 days in Cape Town before heading off for the Kalahari.

How cool is that?!
