Last day in S.A

We spent our last day in Joburg packing and getting Dora (our car) cleaned. This took over 2 hours with at one time 4 people cleaning it! In the evening we enjoyed our last evening with Sanette and Mario with Chris cooking a culinary delight!

We finally have our car!

We have just collected our little kia picanto from Johannesburg airport so are pretty happy! Not entirely sure where we will end up over the next month, but that makes it even more exciting! We can't exactly say that it's the nicest car we've even driven, as it doesn't have air-conditioning or...

Arriving in Johannesburg!

Finally we are at our first destination! The flight was pretty busy and although the air-stewards were stingy with supplying us with water, we had a comfortable flight. Sanette's father was waiting for us which was perfect timing as it stopped pestering-porters from hasseling us too much! He...

Time to leave.

Well, there was one more item to take care of before leaving. That, of course, being a follow-up visit to the hospital to make sure that my stitches weren’t infected. I woke up at 7:30 to hike the kilometer and a half up the hill to the clinic, where they were somewhat confused as to why I was...

Day 24... Italy out of the cup...

Day 18 and 19... Nothing...

Italy played their second game on the 20th, so I had a flight to [[South-Africa/Nelspruit]] on the morning of the game... I had nothing on the 18th and 19th at all, so I enjoyed the nothingness of the days... Watched a couple of games... Had a few beers... Did some grocery shopping... Had a...
