Wednesday April 29 to Thursday 30 April
Had a sleep in until 6.30 on my step tracker, unfortunately I had not synced it with my phone and it was actually 5.30!
Breakfast was good, and our check out and pick up for our last tour went smoothly. Nomonde our driver was great, very informative and funny. She took us to the apartheid museum which was very confronting and then to Mandella’s house and Soweto. Soweto was a place of contrasts, there were some beautiful houses there worthy of some of Melbourne’s better suburbs. Then there was the other side, where the slums were mostly corrugated iron structures. Our drive was careful not to take us to the dangerous parts, though some areas look very shady.
We check in around 2.30 and got our lounge passes but unfortunately we’re not able to get Ross and Karen in.
Flight leaves almost on time and it is nice being in business class, Ann has a window seat and I am behind her with a window seat. There is more room for storage with a window seat. Relatively smooth flight and was able to get about 5 hours of sleep. Land in Sydney with enough time to meet Melb flight which was delayed anyway. Our pickup is waiting and we are home by 8.45. Total time from when we woke up at 5.30 till when we got home was 29 hours.
This could be our last major overseas trip, we are sick of airports and airport security procedures, and if this is our last it is a good one to finish on.
