Oryxs Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Bag Enjoy. It's a country with a lot to see, but beware of the things you don't see. Do not walk anywhere than on the paths walked by the locals. Lots of old military stuff lying around plus more than one million landmines. The cubans/russians mined the place for miles, especially in the south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned@HeliOps Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Bags, Stop in and see Lou D'Elia at Chevron if you get to their base and say hi. Great guy and some nice toys there. Also look out for Fanie Jordaan there as well. Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bag swinnger Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey Ned, where was that photo taken of you and that big lion at night? you sent it to me from over here somewhere but can't remember where. I know its a big continent but my Engineer says he really wants me to get a snap with him and some big game. Seriously though I will keep an eye out for your friends there...we were almost down by the Chevron building part of the ramp today. when we were stopped and detained for a while. Apparently you are not allowed to walk down there, at least not without passports and such. We had a good chuckle while sitting on the bench waiting to find out what they were going to do with us. thinking about the look on Harmonic vibes face as he gets the call to spring four of his drivers out of the clink. Luckily for the Angolans it ended well though :punk: Oh and Vibrator if your reading this it was all Larry's fault. I found out later he had all of our passports in his back pack but never said "f" all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAH Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 You gave your passport to someone else, that was not very smart. But nevertheless, get some good pics for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watson Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Good place to carry a photo copy of your passport and always say that the real one is being held at the hotel (don't give to them either) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
