Michelangelo Towers Suites Johannesburg

... I kept waiting for them to trip and fall as they were anything by sure-footed. Gabbi and I were regularly giving them our hands to make sure they could make it down the uneven, rocky surfaces. Then, the best part was when we got to a part where the cave narrowed into a small tunnel. The woman seemed to maneuver just fine, but then the man tried to see if he could some how just duck down and make it through – um, not exactly – he managed to get ...

Tiistaina aamulla lähdimme Pretoriaan eli Etelä-Afrikan pääkaupunkiin hoitamaan kundin passiasioita. Pretoria on noin 50 kilometrin päässä Johannesburgista ja kuuleman mukaan "big plan" on, että 10 vuoden sisällä Joburg ja Pretoria muodostaisivat yhteisen megalopolin. Yhtenä ajurina tässä on se, että Joburgin rikollisuusongelma on pakottanut usean firman siirtämään toimintansa Pretorian moottoritien varteen pois Joburgin keskustasta ...

... into a Mohawk first and then shaved the whole lot down to a two blade. Then Alan went off by himself to the bathroom to shave the beard. We had agreed that he'd shave the beard to a two blade also (my compromise) but in the end he shaved it right down leaving just a moustache. I still don't like the moustache much. When Alan came back to the bar a lot of people didn't even recognise him. It was pretty funny.<br>Excitement over we had a few more beers and chatted to some ...

... Zambia, and they appeared to be very much appreciated. The room was very snug, but since the weather was pleasantly cool, that wasn't a problem. We enjoyed lunch together with gave us more of a chance to talk. We went our separate ways after the close of the afternoon session. The younger participants all went out together to have dinner and some fun away from the gray-haired set. We hope for a quiet night so we can be rested and ready tomorrow.

... have been warned not to try and compete with the taxis! Set off on the famous Garden Route on May 18 - from Cape Town, and currently in George. The coast line has been absolutely spectacular and we have been blessed with good weather. Incredible azure ocean and rugged mountains, and sooooooooo many beautiful birds both small and large. And Wes is getting to see a variety of nonthreatening game (although ...

... from the people there to go to the mall a couple of times, yes i spent 2 of 3 days at 2 different malls! I needed to buy a few things including a sleeping bag, a raincoat/jacket and binoculars, some of the best and most useful purchases i've ever made! I also had to get a few new items of clothing as i was getting quite sick of wearing the same clothes for more than a month. Most people only spend 2 days in Joburg and thats sufficiant time to see ...

The original plan was to have just one day in JoBerg, having arrived just over 24 hours late we missed our flight to Lilongwe and the next flight was not for another two days. We put the time to good use, filling up on more food then we should, and taking a day trip into a national park, It ...

... pretty good. We managed to see quite a few animals, but sadly no lions or leopars which is what I was really hoping to see. On the last day we got moved to a 5* lodge with a chimpanzee sanctuary, so that was really nice. As I'm travelling alone and was the only girl in the group doing so I got a room all to myself and everyone else was in twins. I had a massive bed and it was so comfortable - it ...

... what I would think of as winter clothes. Pretoria looks like an amazing place. There are huge white houses with red tiled roofs, huge trees and ferns and gorgeous flowering plants. Some homes, garages and studios are thatched, which is another something I did not expect in South African European houses. Homes are all gated with strong security fencing and alarms. Gardens are immaculate and landscaping is as well. My cousin explained that having servants is ...

... disappearing with my speedy pull up, embarrassed we sit there a bit longer as everyone else gives up and pulls away. Then, just before we are about to leave suddenly they reappear. Hah! They start off far away and gradually walk towards us, finally crossing the road right in front of us! A fantastic finish to five great days game spotting. Off we head to Jo'berg and that final journey home.....well not quite...there is the skiing holiday to keep our thoughts occupied!
