South Africa

Just after I came back from Israel, I then had to travel to Johannesburg for a week. I've been before but there's something about Jo'burg that makes me uneasy. Last visit was a couple of years ago when they were preparing for the World Cup. I think they had a lot of migrant workers in then because this time round I didn't feel as uneasy - you still have to be on your guard mind!

I stayed in Sandton at the Holiday Inn and flew with South African Airlines. Both were good.

The food has to be the highlight though - I've still yet to have prawns quite like the South African ones. This time as well, we also went to a restaurant called Carnivore - was exactly what it said on the tin...lots and lots of meat!
