We have arrived safely in Johannesburg!! Our flight got in at 7:30am (5:30am GMT) Bit of a wild goose chase to try and get change to phone for our transfer and then had to wait ages so thought we were in the wrong place but it was all good in the end. Got to our hostel about 11ish than slept for 4 hrs! Its is really nice!! Just hope that all our hostels are like this!lol. Met some of the folk that will be on the tour with us up to Victoria Falls, they are really nice. Only going to be about 10 folk so should be a nice number. After Victoria Falls we will be joining a new tour to take us to Nairobi. Weather has been amazing just incase you are all wondering!!!!! :D

Had an early start this morning to head off on our 1/2 day Soweto tour. It was really good, got to see the stadium where the first and last games of the 2010 World Cup was played, Saw the Upper, Middle and Lower clssses of the township (unbelievable to think folk still live in the slums!!) Saw the largest hospital in the world, Nelson Mandelas House and went to a museum about the Soweto uprising in 1976, unreal what happened to all the school children!! Had lunch in an authentic South African cafe before we went back to the hostel. A group of us went to the shops in the afternoon and had our first African expierience when the next door neighbour offered us all a lift home in the back of his pick-up, it was great since I was needing the toilet and it was a good 15-20 minute walk! :) Had our group meeting tonight, there are 12 of us on the tour now, maybe one more to turn up but nobody has heard from them. We set off early tomorrow morning and doubt we will have much, if any internet between here and Nairobi. We can recieve txt messages but please dont phone us as it costs us a fortune!!lol.
