Eggbert's Travels

Friday 23rd February

SHE SAID:

We had an uneventful trip with Qantas to Johannesburg; watching movies and eating being the main activities. The service and food was surprisingly OK; you never know quite what you will get with Qantas!

The trip to the BnB was, however, a little more "adventurous". We were unable to use the airport wifi to order an Uber "taxi", as you need a mobile phone to register for the wifi. We had to get a taxi, which charged us double what we had been told it would cost! Then there was nobody home to let us in...we had to borrow a phone from a kind lady at restaurant to call the owners and arrange access. (They were away for the weekend, and had organised her parents to let us in, though they weren't there when we arrived). Anyhow, all sorted eventually.
Knackered, we had showers and were out like lights by 8.30pm.

HE SAID:

It was a long day, with our 14hr flight and transfers etc getting us to bed about 5am Canberra time. The lack of anyone to let us into the BnB was the biggest hassle of the trip. Being tired and lugging our bags around as we searched for a way to contact the owner as dusk approached was not fun. I was even too knackered to nip out and buy beer!
