Wow what a start to the holiday after leaving Melbourne at 6.45am and heading for Johannesburg from Sydney at 9.50am we flew south and at around 4.30pm we were flying over the South Pole and saw Antarctica at 33,000ft -60C deg which looked amazing, huge fissures in the ice and clear of cloud, which the crew said was unusual, so another tick on the "bucket list". We arrived at our hotel at Jo'burg airport to a complimentary SA port, a very nice introduction.
