The trip started in Gothenburg, Trondheim, Chicago, Glasgow and Birmingham. We gathered in Cape Town, where we planned for a two days safety stop. This to get a chance to recuperate after long flights and for luggage reasons – to have a chance to get back the lost luggage. This tuned out to be a very wise strategy, Neils bag went lost on two occasions under management in the airports.
