Her we are in the middle of September!! The World Cup has been and gone, tours have been done. I was fortunate to have had a contract for the full duration of the Soccer World Cup. It was not a guiding job, just being a Coach Host and Customer Services Operative (CSO), no realy hard work just odd hours like going to work at 2 in the morning and then waiting around for a few hours, acompany the overseas guest from the hotel to the airport, return to the depot and go home by 7:30 or 8:00.
When that was over I had another Grand Tour, this time with 7 passengers. A Indonesian family, parents and son, now living in Holland, an American couple, a New Zealander and a Columbian now living in the USA. Boy with a mixed bag it was fairly trying some days and got a bit unballanced. We made it to Cape Town without any one commiting murder as had been threatened a time or two!!
I only have 4 more tours this year, unless I can pick up some more. The nice one will be in October into November, more about that later.
The next one starts tomorrow. Pick up at the airport late in the evening then off to Cape Point on Sunday, winelands on Monday, Garden route from Tuesday to Friday - end of tour. Stories of this one will be posted next week.
