Packed like sardines

I remember a holiday in Cape Town a few years ago. Our trip had been planned to be flexible around the weather. One beautiful morning we decided to go up Table Mountain.

As we approached the main entrance into the cable way lift, an oldish Capetonian in a wheel chair was riding up and down shouting in Afrikaans, "Kom nou, almal in soos Sardientjies!" (For the non-afrikaans that means "in like sardines").

What struck me about him, was here was a man with a disability, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. He had a voice... And he was going to use it!

This man's positive attitude was simply infectious! He certainly was an encouragement to me to look to the bright side of life :-)
