Neumayer

Was flown off to the Germans today to go install some equipment for work purposes there. The chopper trip was really long and not all that interesting since its pretty much just whiteness when you looked out the window... on the way we stopped at the SA Summer Station to drop off a few thing the drivers needed for their repairs to the place, and then we were off again to Neumayer.

Thank goodness the installation went without any hickups, so the system was up and running within 30minutes, if even that long. We had to wait for some of the medical equipment to be sterilized (our sterilizer thingy is too small for some of the medical equipment to fit in, so the Germans are kind enough to do it for us) so we had some coffee and took a mini tour around the base. All of their systems are pretty much brand new and looking very spiffy. One thing of their base that I looove is the huge windows. I can just imagine the view if we had such big windows in our base!

We met three of the overwintering team members, and they seem really cool. Hopefully I'll get to see them again..

The trip back was spent playing with cameras and I'm sure working on Gideon's nerves. I have like a hundred random pics on my cam of people's beards and chins and who knows what, thanks Renier!!
