Double Decker

As I was pondering what to write, I was about to say that I’m on the verge of starting a busy two weeks for work with trips to South Africa this week and India next (leaving tonight in the top deck of an Airbus 380 from Paris to Johannesburg). Then I thought that that actually does a serious disservice to the last couple of weeks which saw trips to Paris, Amsterdam, Geneva and Zurich (the latter including a lovely 3 hour train journey through Switzerland). The good news is that despite all this movement, I’m still managing, on the whole, to keep trips to 3-3.5 days a week; for example this week I left home Monday afternoon and I’ll be back on Thursday night. The trip to Zurich was particularly fun because I met up with my old boss from Wipro, and I was also welcomed like a long lost family member at the hotel where I used to stay every week whilst working at Credit Suisse. My old boss is really fun to be with, and he most definitely knows the best restaurants and wine in the city! I was happy to be back in a wonderfully warm Zurich and catch up with him and meet his new girlfriend. In any case, the next two weeks are now going to start with, hopefully, a good night’s sleep before arriving in South Africa at 11AM tomorrow morning…
