Turtle-sized chocolate croissants

First off: I've decided to post my photos to Facebook rather than Flickr, as there's a 200 picture limit on Flickr, and I would like to have the online version as a type of backup in case something happens to my computer. You can still access the latest album even if you're not on Facebook, by going here.


This lovely culinary specimen is a turtle-sized chocolate croissant, sold by the wonderful Fournos Bakery at OR Tambo International Airport. This is me consuming said turtle-sized chocolate croissant:

And yes, it was deliciiooussss... :P

So, I'm back from my trip to South Africa and Kenya, which, as you can see from the pictures,
was awesome. A week of hard work at the IEEE AFRICON 2009 conference in Nairobi, and a week of partying and relaxing in good ol' SA with friends and family.

Last night the Parlotones played in Amsterdam. It was great fun - you'll be amazed at the number of South Africans in the Netherlands willing to support SA music! Note to self: Don't depend on the night train to get you back to Eindhoven from Amsterdam in future - you will be spending a lot of time (2 hours) waiting to change over in Utrecht.

If you look very carefully you might just be able to make out Kahn from the Parlotones singing Lisa se Klavier in the photo below :P

And apparently you lose the ability to identify fashionable accessories when you don't get enough sleep:
