I arrived at 3 pm local time into OR Tambo International Airport with my day pack and carry on luggage :). It was a long flight 15 hours as the video in flight service was not working... so much for my movie marathon. My seat mate was a local South African, Clyve, who nows lives in N. Carolina. He was good company talking to me about South African's history before and after Apartheid. He was also a kind gentleman and helped me everytime I needed to get my bag from the 6 ft high bin. I was easily transfered to the hotel via their free shuttle and got my first taste of the zulu language from the driver. Aparently 4 different types of tribes are found in S. Africa each with it's own language. I am now in my luxurious hotel and wow did that shower feel great. I arrived to my room and found Oprah on the Sony flat screen. The hotel is the Mondior Concorde (www.emperorspalace.com) it is like a mini Vegas with spa, pool, casino and restaurants. A perfect place to recharge before Zambia and Botswana. I am going to book Heather in here for her last night as it is so convenient and safe.
Happy to have arrived safe and sound. I am off to explore the hotel!
