People from all over, Zulu dancer, South Africa

Way back in 1969 I had the desire to visit some parts of Africa on my own.

I was quite fortunate to find a skipper who took me from Hamburg, Germany to Durban, South Africa as a so called workaway.

My jobs:- Scrubbing the planks and helping in the kitchen.

One thing I´ll never forget:- The seamen had to remind me to make stronger coffee and much weaker teas. Been young and unexperienced I often goofed it up.

After three weeks on MS Kaapland, back on shore I was ready to roam southern Africa.

A life time experience!
