Busy Streets

Wednesday, May 16

The flight to Jo-burg was overnight and we gained 7 hours from Texas time. At approximately 4:45 pm we landed in Johannesburg, South Africa. The airport was massive and the shopping extensive within the airport, but we had to wait. There was a drug dog in the airport, a beagle that was searching for items to declare. I just thought it interesting that a beagle was chosen over our large German shepherds in the U.S.

We stayed at Africa Centre for the night. It was an airport hotel, which in my mind is less than 1 mile away, but we were able to experience the full driving effect in South Africa. They drive on the opposite side of the car, opposite side of the road and the speeds are high. It is a bit scary at times! We arrived safe and sound, despite the busy streets, in group waves. We waited three hours to get our dinner food and crashed for the night. The beds were extremely comfy and warm!
