2 - Getting to Africa

We started yesterday, Sunday morning, at 8:00 a.m.  We went to the Brunswick Airport early to ensure that we had seat assignments to Atlanta.  After the short flight to Atlanta, we went to a Lunch/Dinner at One Flew South and had a great meal and shared a bottle of wine in preparation for our flight to Johannesburg.  We were also pleasantly surprised to find that our gate was next door to One Flew South.

The flight went fine (although the food was bad) – if that is possible to say about a 15 and ½ hour flight.  After an hour wait in the Johannesburg Airport to get through customs and immigration and an hour drive to Pretoria, we arrived at our hotel – “131 on Herbert Baker” - which appears to be absolutely wonderful.  30 hours door to door. 

 

We just finished a wonderful dinner at the hotel – plan on a good nights sleep and will begin our adventure tomorrow here In Pretoria.
