Headed off to the flea / African craft market in Rosedale today, a suburb of Jo'burg.  There was a sign up in the market stating 'This is Africa, we bargain' but I was finding it really hard to bargain, felt a bit hard faced about it, I'm just not cut out for the world of sales!  There was a lot of good stuff on view, and I reckon if I had a house in SA I would be able to kit it out here!
I managed to pick up a pair of masks which apparently are the type used in coming of age ceremonies, it could all be a load of bollocks for all I know, but I liked the guy, and eventually succumbed and bought a pair even though I only really wanted one.  They are pretty cool really.
We had lunch at Moyos on Zoo Lake, a really big restaurant in a fab setting.  We got our faces painted and tucked into some great scran (yet again, I stilll haven't had a bad meal!!) 
Then was time for some posing in the gardens with the weird people!!!!  (take a look at the piccies).
Evening was just a chill out as tomorrow we were heading to Kruger, yay!!
