Debbie and Alec go around the world!
Hey everybody,
Heres update number 1, its gonna be a quickie cos I need a nap!
After the initial problems with leaving insurance docs on the other side of London (thats what happens when a man has too much involvement in organisation!) our flight left without problem and even though we were in the skys on 9/11, landed too! Neither of us slept particularly on the flight, mostly because of the excitement of the trip but partially due to those people who feel that a 6month old child would enjoy being stuck in a plane for 11 hours! We landed in Jo'burg around 7:10am local time (6:10am your time) and got our bags and then got a transfer to the hostel.
Despite some of the stories we read before we arrived, Jo'burg seems to be a really nice city. The hostel is in the suburbs so its much more laid back than the busy CBD.
We were shown our room upon arrival and both were in shock since it is cleaner and larger than many hotel rooms I have stayed in! (photos to follow tomorrow)
Apart from venturing to some local shops for lunch (chicken and chips - keeping it cultural) we have pretty much spent the day snoozing and reading, a perfect start to the trip!
I hope youre all well, more tomorrow!
Alec (and Debbie)
