Well I found Time!

Has it Really been that long???

Now I have let my blog slip quite a bit, but only because I have been in and out of the country for the last few weeks. Jersey, Poland, South Africa and Ireland. All over the last 4 weeks, thankfully I now have a little bit of time to play catch up.

So let me see, Jersey was not too bad but it was a case of catch the ferry in the morning at some ungodly hour (I think I was up at 3am), then do the job, (which I couldn't do as there was no electrics, despite the fact that the engineer who went 3 months earlier said all was ok and working, GIT!). After that I caught the ferry home, and stayed in a hotel in Weymouth overnight before finally getting back.

Next onto Poland, and a trouble shooting mission, another early start, but at least I got 40 winks on the plane - bloody SleezyJet again!!!

The job itself was pretty straight forward, and should have been done the way I did it from the start, but it was a Frenchman who initially carried it out - think it was a case of "NON!!! I will do it MY way, I do NOT have time to put up a shelf, and do it properly!" French GIT!

So they were happy when I left and it makes a nice change an English guy going to Poland rather than the Poles coming to England.

I also got to stay in the 5* Marriott hotel I was working in, here is a view from my room on the 31st floor.

So after Poland it was off to South Africa, another eary start? No not this time, but it was an overnight flight, 11 hours by South African Airlines. I think I managed to get about 4 or 5 hours kip though. Then on arrival I was met by a taxi driver and taken to the Hotel in Jo'burg where I was to stay. On the way I saw a massive Roller coaster that I was thinking of visiting should I get chance, it seemed to get closer and closer, and then the taxi pulled into the Gold Reef Theme Park, and I realised joy of Joys this was where my hotel was!

So this is the Roller Coaster;

My room was aptly named the Blacksmith room, simply because it had a bloody great forge in the middle of it, mind you it was a smart room!

The 2 days and three nights I was there were very busy, and horror of horrors I didn't get the chance to go on ONE ride, NOT ONE BLOODY RIDE!!!!!! Despite having complimentry access to them. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

As for Ireland, I will save that till next time.

Gotta go now Bosses checking up on me!
