Johannesburg Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

We had just one full day in johannesburg so we went on a tour of the city to Soweto. One of the most enlightening and touching tours I've been on. Being of a younger generation we did not know much about Soweto and Apartide rule. We vistited a great museum set up by the mother of the 13 year old boy who was shot dead during the school protest.

We shelled out an arm and a leg for a taxi and off we went. The museum its...

October 8 - Durban Hmmm, what can we say about Durban? After a short stop at the shopping mall down the street to replenish some supplies, we headed back to the hostel.
