Although they were traveling much faster than us, they stopped a couple of times to see historic sights along the way. It was an awesome sight and a weird feeling, leaving our bushveld of Otjiwarongo. The huge cargo plane awaited us as drove into the airport. We were within 5 minutes of when we were expected to arrive. We were over-whelmed by people telling us what to do and where to go.
Cameras flashing, people talking, milling around the cheetah crates.
Several nice short speeches launched the cats. The Deputy Ambassador from the US, the PS of Met, me, the Rep from the State House and the Regional Governor. By the time all this was finished, all were sweating from the heat and humidity. The cheetahs were being loaded by this time. The inside of the cargo plane is quite interesting.
