A weekend in Joburg with Sue

Arriving back from Livingstone we were booked into the same B&B in Parkview - just round the corner from Sue's old place and about a 10 minute drive from the new home in Melville she moved into last weekend.

Just about time to unpack, shower and change before Sue arrived to pick us up to show us the new place and have a drink in the courtyard.

She still has a bit of organising and unpacking to do but it looked like she would be comfortable there. After everything that has happened in the last couple of months, she seems to be coping well and it was really good to have time to spend with her.

Then round the corner to the main street and a bewildering choice of bars and restaurants - chose The Leopard and had a great meal and enough wine to cause a slight stagger on the way home - some things don't change! Thankfully the taxi knew where he was going.

Bit of a slow start on Saturday - although I am still tuned into the safari 05.00 wake up schedule. Met Sue for lunch and then headed down town for the Red Bus tour of the City - Thunderstorm broke as we arrived and spent a short while dodging the torrential rain before getting on the top deck for the ride around the major sights. Due to the weather we didn't bother with the hop-on/hop-off suggestions - just did the whole tour in one sitting and then headed home to have a siesta and prepare for another night out.

When we were here two weeks ago, we had met another of Sue's friends  - Nick - who invited us all for a braai at his home in Parkhurst. Great meal, wines and company then to prove how connected we are we got an Uber Black car to take us all home - well one of the other guests arranged it for us!
