Hot seat

Coming through the Huguenot Tunnel on Wednesday we saw these baboons playing around on the electric wiring - put there to keep them out!
We went on a very interesting tour of the tunnel and I was amazed to learn of the brilliance of design and execution, the hardships of the construction team, the effciency of the on-going running and the myriad safety precautions that need to be taken every minute of the day and night. When one whizzes through it in a couple of minute, one hardly gives a second's thought to all that.
