Coming back after a long lazy lunch in the Magaliesburg on Sunday, (Creation 2008 Pinot Noir was amazing), I saw a helicopter hovering over the runway at Lanseria Airport. It struck me as an odd place for a helicopter to hover....Especially when I saw a private jet landing at the same time.
And then I saw these pictures....
This is Lanseria Airport, (regional airport just outside Johannesburg), playing host to the rich and famous of the world, jetting in to see the World Cup Final at Soccer City that evening. At least these guys were better organised than they were at King Shaka Airport in Durban for the semi-finals.
These guys started jetting out from 03h00 Sunday morning, so they could be back on whatever yacht they came from Monday morning... Kept me awake for a few hours. Felt like I was living in Hounslow on the flight path out of Heathrow.
Shame hey? Feel bad for the guys having to park their shiny aeroplanes on the grass like that... No wonder Sepp Blatter only gave us 9 / 10 for hosting the World Cup 2010.
