June 8 - Arrived in Johannesburg at 8:30pm. Took a cab to Somona Guest House. Settled in and had an early night (one cannot walk outside after 6:00pm and all the houses have security gates and window bars).
June 9 - Awoke early the next morning and arranged for a driver (Brighton) to take us to Pilanesberg Game Reserve - saw elephants; hippos; zebras; deer and wilde beast. Then drove to Sun City - the disneyland of South Africa. Drove back and arrived in J'Burg at 7:00pm. Were told that more guests would be arriving at our B&B (there are 7 rooms in all). The next batch are Mexicans, and as the opening game is S. Africa v. Mexico, we expect some heated debates over the next few days.
There was a massive parade in J'Burg today (schools and businesses were closed so that the children could join in too) in support of the South African national soccer team.
Planning for Brighton to take us to Kruger tomorrow.
