Botswana

Botswana map at the immigration




Haas consult...and beef farm?




Need a haircut?




The biggest insect I've seen


Today we went to Gabarone in Botswana. However, since there where no air line tickets available we had to drive there which was a four hour drive. I'm not to disappointed though since it gave me a chance to see something else besides Johannesburg. I must say that South Africa is a extremely beautiful country and even though we didn't see any wild animals besides some baboons that where sitting on the fencing next to the road you really would like to go on a regular safari to see more of the nature.

Johannesburg is actually situated 1800m above sea level so the landscape is really nice and the climate is not as warm as you might think.

Second trip to South Africa

Again, a different view on bringing guns to work




Nelson Mandela square in Sandton, one of the few "safe" places...




Example of game you can eat at Butcher Shop and Grill




And a small encouragement in the restaurant


Time for another trip to Johannesburg. This time a number of customer meetings was planned and as I realized last time, Johannesburg has a lot of security problems so you basically don't move around as a visitor without knowing where to go. However, the hotel is next door to Nelson Mandela square in Sandton which is considered safe so we could at least go out to get a good meal of local game in the evening.

Last hunt 2007-08

Hunting in the morning




About to leave back to Dubai in the afternoon


Since I'm leaving back to Dubai today I tried to get as much as possible done. So at six o'clock I got on the train to Norrköping where my brother picked me up to go hunting. Even though most of the animals are out of season you can still hunt wild bore, hare and foxes. Unfortunately we didn't get anything but at least we had a nice day. At two o'clock my brother gave me a ride back to Norrköping so that I could get the train back to Stockholm again and then directly jump on Arlanda expressen out to Arlanda where I was flying back to Dubai over Munich. On the way back to Stockholm the snow started falling and when I finally got on the flight there had fallen quite a bit of snow.

So, getting up at five, going 250 km for some hunting and nature, back to Stockholm to continue to Dubai and landing in 25 degrees heat 24 hours after getting up this morning I was a bit tired, but at least I used the time to the fullest.
