... Victoria airport at about the same time...and he is right as we witness how crowded the tiny airport is. With Thompson's help we do manage to get checked in and as we go through security we say good-bye to Thompson and thank him for all the care he has taken to ensure a very smooth and exciting trip.
We fly British Air to Johannesburg and then go through passport and customs and then check in with South African Air for the flight to Dulles. We ...
Wks 67 & 68 - Northern Drakensberg to Joburg
... br> Between my guide Vusi's little bay Nikki and Caiman, all the horses wanted to do all the time was gallop - which usually I'm very fond of, but this guy needed to suss me out a little and I guess being a guide on his own - didn't want me galloping off in the wrong direction as unlike most other horse trails, they had many varying in length of time and your experience as a rider. This resulted in us both mostly full on pulling at the reins to hold our surprisingly ...
Back to Jo'Berg
... guys who were representing their city in a sporting tournament. Quite interesting to speak to them; it’s evident that some of the apartheid mentality is still alive and well. Some of the phrases that passed their lips were actually shocking! I suppose it is such recent history, a little more time needs to pass for complete reconciliation.

... another ride, or be lost and cry. Laugh all you like, Londoners. In Joburg...the same feelings came over me, but this time a new one: mus and I were the only white dudes around.

I asked directions (sorry, which taxi goes to Gold Reef ...
Panorama Route in the clouds
... We all went for a walk around the strange rock formations made by the blyde River, and took a lot of photos. Then on to the classic wievpoit at the Three Rondavels. The sun was now shining again and the wievs over the canyon was very impressive. After this stop only the last leg to Johannesburg remained.

TravelPod Member ReviewsRutland House Bed & Breakfast Johannesburg
We were there for 2 nights in May and loved the accommodations, the gardens, the breakfast, Delia, and the guides (Felleng Tours) she suggested. Rudie & Agnes felt more like old friends after the fabulous days we spent with them touring JoBurg and Pretoria and environs. Totally reliable and enjoyable--can't recommend this whole setup more!
