I flew over IRAQ today!!!
Amaizing, I was as close as 11 km to Anmar's country.



It did feel very strange to have all the cruel pictures from the news in mind but actually seeing this county shiny and peaceful in the sundown.



Right now I am at Dubai airport waiting for my connecting flight to Jo'burg. Since a while I try to convince my laptop to log on to the network here - without success. So this update comes right from my mobile!

Hi Holger,habe gerstern echt gedacht,ich muss euch mal anrufen.Habe nicht damit gerechnet,dass du jetzt so weit weg bist.Wie kommt es ueberhaupt,dass du nach Suedafrika fliegst?Wie lange bleibst du da?Bin echt nicht auf dem neuesten Stand!Pass auf dich auf, liebe Gruesse aus Koeln

Hallo Brüderchen,

schön dass Du gut angekommen bist.
Liebe Grüße aus Mecklenburg. Dein kleiner Neffe nimmt gerade bei Schwiegereltern den Garten auseinander. Ich habe gerade innerhalb einer viertel Stunde 80 Bilder geschossen. Ich werde demnächst wieder welche hochladen. Grüße von den vier Muschelschubbsern.

Good morning Holger,
good to see that the wireless network in Dubai also does not work properly for others :). I see you start to get as bad as I am when it comes down to travelling all over the place. Will certainly keep reading your blog about your trips, if I had more time I think I would start doing that as well, very good idea to keep everyone up to date on where you are :)
Best regards and happy travels
Thomas
