Arrival

I arrived in Johannesburg and was met by carl at the airport.
Walking through the terminals it was evident the amount of work and
promotion behind this years world cup. South Africans are very fired up to be hosting the event. New roads and international
flags alongside the highways were two noticeable changes according to
Carl. We drove to his home in Southwestern Pretoria and ventured
through their large private reserve. They collectively own 8 zebras,
blessbok's impalas and the national animal the springbok. They treated me to a traditional South African Braai (Barbeque) for dinner where we grilled assortments of red meat, biltong and finished with South African deserts and a glass of red wine from Durban. A great start to my trip.

  1. Biltong is a delicious South African Jerky which I have come to enjoy. They literally shave the meat right off the bone
