The last two nights were actually pretty good. The astronomers that have been up here in Sutherland for the last 2 weeks have confirmed that this has been the longest run of good nights so far, so I guess I arrived at exactly the right time :)
The picture on the side of this blog shows the weather output from SALT. There you can see that the whole of last night was at around 7 degrees, nice and toasty :) And don't think the "warm room" inside the telescope dome is actually warm. It's one of those obscure astronomer jokes.
I took a trip down to the new Recreation Center that was completed recently and I must say that it is pretty awesome. There's a climbing wall, basketball court, indoor braai with pooltable and big screen tv, fully stocked gym, and a squash court !! In Sutherland !! That's cool. I'll upload the photos to my facebook profile soon (or see if I might be able to post them here some time).
Adios
