Arrived in the city of Johannesburg and survived my first test, picking up the car and driving into the city. 

In a way it was incredibly simple, with freeways linking all the main points, far faster getting around than London. Off course you don't get people wandering up the motorway in London, which kind of slows things down a bit. I was quite amazed about how green it is. I guess I was expecting a urban wasteland. But the view from the freeway is of vibrant green hills.

Popped into the museum of apartheid on the way into the city, to get a sense of the history of the country. It's quite stunning how such a revolting regime lasted for so long, and amazing that when it all fell apart the country didn't self destruct in a blood soaked orgy of revenge.
