GGA Much Anticipated Blog: Day 1 10/10/2010
After congregating at Heathrow Airport on the Saturday afternoon (09/10/2010) the journey commenced with all present and without delay or incident and all were in merry spirits. Until…reaching the destination of Durban where the team split into three vehicles tailing a guide from GGA and the final vehicle failed to depart the airport with the others. After a few strained conversations, and virtual meltdown in team relationships, the trio of vehicles re-convened at local shopping centre outside of Durban where supplies and nutrition were sought. Panic over.
Upon arrival at GGA HQ the facilities were inspected and of very good standard indeed. There was an admission that the concrete foundation was yet to be laid as previously agreed by GGA. This raised much hilarity on EOTs and failure for GGA to meet obligations but all was put aside and a site tour embarked upon.
On site the elderly lady who owns a temporary abode greeted us and we viewed the parameters of the project and the first course of blockwork. Simone seemed more interested in the photographic potential of the landscape and less of the quality of the building materials at our disposal!
After returning to the ranch we collected dinner from the ladies in the canteen and ate a meat stew fit for consumption by royalty.
All very much looking forward to a good night’s sleep and construction work commencing.
