Johannesburg
So I won't profess to have seen much of this city but its an oddball mix of things type place. It's still pretty divided in some parts, people who can drive do. Classic example today was going to the supermarket. If you lived in a well off area you simply got into your expensive European car, drive out of your guarded, gated compound of a home and parked in the secure parking lot of the posh western mall.
On a lighter note, Scottish friends will be, I'm sure, delighted to know you can buy "Iron Bru Cordial" in the shops here. Frankly I can't think of anything more disgusting and it's one 'local' delicacy I won't be trying.
Tomorrow I'm of to Pietermaritzburg (PMB for short) then into the Drakensburgs and Lesotho. Tbh I'm looking forward to getting out of the big city.
And finally... I was checking out the blog stats today ( like you do) and was interested to see its already got over 100 hits from 5 continents. I didn't realise I had friends from that many places so thanks for reading. With that in mind, you guys should be able to leave comments and thoughts on my posts (click the comment button just below this). So please do and if your from somewhere interesting then do share. Ciao for now
