Something different to do in South Africa. For those who think Africa is just jungle, here's me at South Africa's only ski resort. If you're coming to FOSS4G 2008, you might catch the end of the season ;-). I'm learning to ski here at Tiffindell near Rhodes in the Eastern Cape. It's just below Ben McDhui, the highest peak in South Africa at 3000m. A month ago they had a blizzard and it was covered in natural snow but they keep the slopes going with snow machines and the old hands say it's as good as any slope in Europe. The temperature dropped to -20 deg C a few weeks ago but we've had clear, windy weather, cold but not that cold. OSGeo types note the MapBender cap I'm wearing.
