The birthplace of Dr Chris Barnard in Beaufort-West.He did the first heart transplant on the 3rd of December 1967.They have a museum here,dedictaed to him.Pictured are his missionary fathers house and the church.Since this was a public holiday,the museum was closed !!! Due to the nature of my work,I was very interested to see this...... I could have cried !!!

Anyway,will see it next time !!

2- i know the feeling about coming back to work... i just got back today.. and all i wated to do was to catch up with mates and go on the forum.....
3- that DVD player in the car (we use it on the plane)... i think it is salvation.. who needs family concelling???.. bought it few year ago and never looked back..
3- i like them classic cars...
4- you are MR PANERAI... i love the pose during the wedding with the wrist working its way to the chest... i do it all the time...

Thanks for the nice comments.

I think the name Mr Panerai should be reserved for Mr Johann Rupert.If it was not for him,buying the Panerai brand into his Richemont/Vendome stable,Panerai may have gone on into oblivian.Lost.I dont know how many know that. to him !!!

BTW,I now found out that those cars I pictured are only those on display at the moment.They get rotated from a pool of around 200 cars in his collection.
