BANG! 2010 is Back2Business in a big way
As the new year rushes into the middle of its second month, I am all too aware that it feels like being on skiis for the first time - whizzing down a never ending slope! Help! What happened to Christmas? The New Year? A relaxed, controlled and measured start to 2010? Help! It's February and my blogs can't keep up.
After a whirlwind tour of the Cederberg, guiding the renowned British photographer John Freeman on his quest to find the most scenic places to take stills, that were actually accessible with a mountain of photographic lenses, tripod etc, we settled for a quiet Christmas...well... sort of!
THEN BANG! The new year happened, Cape Town Routes Unlimited held their Back2Business Conference for the business tourism and conferencing industry on the 22 January. It was an event with attitude! Western Cape Minister for Finance, Economic Development and Tourism, Alan Winde and Dr. Platzky (Deputy Director-General of the Western Cape and coordinator of the 2010 programme) arrived kitted out in Bafana Bafana t-shirts. As the motivational speaker my only disapointment was having to go on after Dr Platzky- so I couldn't really relax and get to hear her talk as every time I looked around and saw the three hundred odd audience it made me jittery. A big red bus greeted the speakers with champayne, and we watched a troupe of dancers pour out from below and entertain the crowd by strutting their stuff!
