I have only operated to Cape Town once. The previous day we had done a very pleasant tour of the wine area, and this day the crew were going down to the docks area for lunch, and for some reason, which I cannot remember, I said I would meet them later.
Being aware of the risks, I left my wallet, watch, phone, sunglasses etc in the hotel, and dressed scruffily, with just some paper money in my otherwise empty pockets.
It was the middle of the day, and as I walked past a square in a business area towards the docks, I noticed a small cabin on one corner where a policeman could shelter. Inside it were four policemen, all crammed in.....
I thought to myself; gee thanks guys, you are supposed to be out patrolling the streets, keeping us all safe, yet here you are, all hiding in a one man police shelter.
