have arrived in the legendary 'danger centre' that is South African capital Joberg. have to say we are very disappointed, we have not been mugged or attacked once. I was rather looking forward to the stories we could exaggerate on but we have none at all!
jokes aside though we are here at last but sad to say that is the final day of the fab travelers duo that is Lucy & Bees travels in Africa.
traveling here was a mammoth expedition including a 16 hour bus journey from Bulawayo to Joberg during the night. put me right off buses it did, the 3 hour wait at the border in the middle of the night and a toilet covered in barbed wire being highlights. journey started off to a bad start, driver was not there, so finally leaving an hour late (so on time for Africa really) we were on the road and had bagged a three seat for the two of us so happily munched our cucumber. but sleeping was next to impossible given the suspension on said bus and I had developed a peculiar itch on my whole face and there were cockroaches galore. but the border was the pits. not even a shop to purchase the usual womens solution to undesirable moments, a chocolate bar. so we sat and after exhausting games of: think of something, cards and remembering the top ten disgusting trip things/stupid things said and food consumed I gave in to sleep and snuggled (as much as one can snuggle with no bedding or pillow into lucy's bright orange bivy bag. rather a sight I hear, so good thing I have no high regard to randomers laughs on my sleeping habits. Surprised to see such clean streets, new cars and brittainesque feel to the place. rather peculiar really.
