Mondior Concorde at Emperors Palace Johannesburg

... half way far enough down. He eventually ended up crawling through, but on his hands and feet, not putting his knees to the ground. Perhaps you had to be there, but just imagine some old English gentleman climbing through a dark, damp cave on his hands and feet in his Sunday suit (maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the reality was just as comical, believe me). I nearly died I wanted to laugh so badly. This happened on several other occasions as we ...

... myös moottoritien vieressä rakennetaan nopeaa junayhteyttä Pretoriaan ensi kesän kisoja silmällä pitäen. Meidän Pretoria-kokemuksemme rajoittui tällä kertaa auton ikkunasta tuijotteluun. Kaupunki kuitenkin on selvästi erilainen kaupunki kuin Joburg. Jollakin tavalla kaupungista tulivat mieleen jotkut jenkki-kaupungit tai brittien teollisuuskaupungit. Ainoastaan kukkivat jakarandat eivät sopineet ko. kaupunkien kuvaan. Autoilun ohella k ...

... characters who were also staying in our hostel. There were two South African darts teams who were in town for a national championship and we learned a lot about South Africa from them. They were really friendly and proved again how hospitable South Africans are to tourists in their country. <br>During the evening I got chatting to an English girl who had been travelling around SA for the last six weeks with her boyfriend. I was hoping to get some tips and recommendations from ...

This morning at 09:00 Jim and I sat in on a South African ministerial meeting. The six elders in this country, coming from Johannesburg, Durban, East London and Capetown met to discuss ministerial and church issues as they do several times a year. Almost immediately following that meeting there was another meeting called for the SANATCO (South African National Council ...

... can be very threatening...) which has been a joy to share. Unfortunately a couple of car issues - both when I have been driving....am trying hard not to get paranoid :) So, a couple of days R&amp;R in George while the VW gets some TLC. Our photos not up to date, but recent ones of the house http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/heatherbi rk (it looks amazing!) and of the holiday http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/weswark

... there is to see here, i had to stay 3 days because the tour i finally decided on wasn't leaving until Thursday. I did a 1 day tour with Jozi tours , our quide was Eric, a funny man who talked non stop! It was all very interesting though and he explained to us a lot about his culture and specifically we talked about marriage because he has been with his girlfriend for 8 years now, they do not live together as that is against tradition. But the ...

... of Jo´burg, think I prefer that place. Of course a guy managed to steal R400 out of my pockets, but that was my own silly mistake. One should think I would have learned after earlier experiences, but nope... Union Building impressive. Stayed at Purple Palms outside Johannesburg before I left for Brazil. END OF AFRICAN ADVENTURE!

... call and hooked me up with a friend of his who ran a Hostile in JoBurg. It was a really nice place. It had a beautiful garden and all the fixins of a hotel (minus the little shampoo bottles) and was cheap enough that I could have a big ol' stake for dinner. I spent the whole day napping off and on - pool side, in my bed, and on the couch. It was nice except the bad tan lines I got from sleeping with my hands behind my head pool side.

... notre petite boule bleue est assez grande. Il n'y a qu'à choisir une autre destination. L'argentine est au programme. Mais c'est différent, c'est le boulot. Je veux un voyage que je puisse vivre comme j'ai vécu celui-ci. Les destinations ne manquent pas. La route est sans fin... Ce n'est que la fin d'une aventure. Pas celle du voyage. Lui ne fait que commencer. Early departure today. I have a busy day. Coffee break to Robin's and Damian's place to load some of the stuff I left ...
