Hello!
Downtown Johannesburg
I arrived safe in Johannesburg but not really sound and quite tired. I have to admit that all the way first / business class flying was a nice bonus and helped alleviate my still present butterflies. My bag is apparently somewhere in Europe (between London and Frankfurt!) at this point. It is unfortunate but I cannot do more / anything about it for now. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow and it won't affect my trip planification (Leave for Madagascar on the 23rd Aug.!) too much.8PM on 2006/08/22:
Jo'Berg Airport Sign
Luggage still not here yet. Chances are I am going to pick it up at the airport at 9AM and then check my luggage again for my flight to Madagascar @ 10:30AM, how ironic...! Should I trust SA Airways???
Johannesburg Building
In the meantime, life as planned. I did a tour of Johannesburg / Soweto / Gold Reef City (Entertainment complex / Old mine) today.
MC at Nelson Mandela's House
Welcome to Soweto!
Typical Soweto Family House
For the smart guy who said the comment: Underwear can be worn in four different ways... inside / out and back / front... shove it OK!?
To answer one question: Please check back (my travelogue) at a later time for pictures that will be added to some entries, after I get my bag that is...!
Another feature that should be added in the near future to all entries is GPS coordinates, temperature, humidity, altitude, etc... Just to make it a little more GEEKY!
C YA!

First class
It shows that travelling in first class does not prevent the airline to loss or delay the arrival of your luggage. Hope it gets there sooner than later. TS/JO.
Re: First class
Better get used to it; it may not be the last time!
Hope the luggage is in one peace
Maybe your luggage is in Johannisberg, Germany?
Keep your spirits up :-)
Found your bag on eBay!
Hi Mart,
found your bag on eBay for 150 RAND, it had a big mapple leaf and your name on it :)
Hope you got it by now and are having a save trip!
