Saturday, 2 August
We have reahed the evening of the final concert. I will load pictures and a more comprehensive text tonight after the concert if possible.
A remider to parents that to collect your boys from the airport on Monday morning. The flight details are as follows:
3 Aug
Taipei – Hong Kong
Flight CX471 Departing 08h55
Hong Kong – Jhb
Flight CX749 Departing 23h45
Arriving Johannesburg 4 Aug at approx 07h00
If there are any changes to the floght schedule, I will post it on the blog. So, no news is good news. We have asked the organisers if we could change tonight's programme to allow us to perform the San Gloria. We had a quick rehearsal this morning, and Cameron Upchurch met the Taiwanese wife. He is very impressived with the instrument. So, here we go! In less than an hour we will board the bus to the concert hall.

Hey BJ - I am off to the airport myself in a few hours. I tried the hotel earlier and had no luck getting through. You will have finished your concert by the time this comes through and I sincerely hope all went well - San Gloria is a wonderful piece of music and you guys have worked so hard to share it with the audience. Enjoy Disneyworld tomorrow. I miss you terribly and just want to hear your voice. When you get back on Monday be sure to phone me straight away. All my love Mom
I miss you so much I can not wait till you come back to Johannesburg Love Lauren

Have been Announcing @ a CGA Swimming Gala all day. The last I did before leaving @ 6h30 was blog & I've just walked straight from my car to, yes, you've guessed - my computer , TO BLOG!!!!! I thought of you folk all day and just imagined everything you were doing. I kept telling all the others in the Admin. Office too!!!! We're sure that the Final Concert was SUPERB & we so so wish that we could hear your programme all over again. I do hope that a video or DVD or whatever it is that's needed to be made so that one can have something to cherish forever, was or will be made.
Thank you for ALL the blogs - it's been such a treat to be 'in on the tour too'. Thank you for your excellent efforts, they are certainly appreciated.
All that's left to say, is have a blast in Disneyworld, Hong Kong & then a safe & enjoyable flight back home. Our thoughts & prayers accompany you. We are just so excited to welcome you back onto African soil on Monday morn.

Dr O, have just clicked 'who' the Taiwanese wife is, you speak about!!! My goodness me, 'she' is magnificent!!! Everyone, you can see a picture of 'her' if you Google, NATIONAL CONCERT HALL TAIPEI and then click on the WIKIPEDIA page. Look at the 3rd picture on the right-hand side. Click on the pic to get a full-size shot of Alton Thompson's picture of the Pipe Organ in that Concert Hall!!! Mr U, will we ever get you off that seat?!? What a treat to play such an impressive instrument! San Gloria must have sounded majestic.
Mr U, 'she' will cost you too much money. Come home & forget about her!

Leaving for 2nd day of Swimming Champs Gala in a short while & thought I'd have a quick peep to see whether anything new has been posted! You folk must have landed in Hong Kong about 35min.ago, so soon you'll be on your way to Disneyworld. Have a FABULOUS, FUN day & enjoy what's left of your time in the East. Congrats on ALL you've achieved there - just in case you don't know it - we're EXCEPTIONALLY PROUD of the St J's Taipei Tour group!!!!

Must also congratulate you and thank you for taking us on the tour too, through the blog, Mr O, Mr U & Mrs S & all other blogger contributors. It has been the highlight of each day to check out the latest new and catch a glimpse of the 'team'. You guys have worked hard, and I'm sure have been great ambassadors for S Africa. Soooo looking forward to getting you back home. We've all missed you Findlay, not just Tigger!! Enjoy Disney World. I'm off to google that 'woman' Mr U is planning to smuggle back to the chapel!!
