G'port to Jo'burg


20 Hours after I set off I finally have an opportunity to get some words down as I sit on my bed in the rather meagre hotel room in Johannesburg.

It's been some time since I last blogged , probably around the time I last travelled. No sausages this time, although that may not actually be the case after all Boerwors (sp?) cannot be ruled out.

After an early start, how many times have I started with that? After an early start, so early that when I arrived at Heathrow terminal 4 it was still shut, indeed I was the first one through security check for the day which meant two things; first that I had no queue to contend with and second that I had two bloody hours to kill before my flight. Arse.

I'm not going to bore you all with another account of how much long haul travel irritates the beans out of me but I feel that I must post an observation to any Americans who may ever read this; an increase in volume does not mean an increase in humour, loud does not equal funny...nuff said.

No bar at the hotel but a vending machine conveniently located at the end of the ground floor corridor has what I need after a long day.

Cheers.

  1. Glad you safe and in one piece - no wine in the vending machine, then?
