    London- Capetown

    lada riva?- i'd rather cut the middle man out and shoot myself before getting one of those. Planes are for people who like airports and people- i like neither as a general rule. At least i dont get screaming brats kicking my seat in the landy. i can take a career break from work so not worried...
