Thursday 6 June Johannesburg
Arrived 4:30 am after flight from Sydney via Perth. Met & taken to African Rock Hotel. Amazingly our room was available and we were able to shower and nap before going on a 4 hr tour of Soweto.
Some familiar brand names from way back in time:
Smiling faces greeted us at Freedom Square where the post apartheid era was celebrated.
The Soweto Hotel doesn’t appear to be used as a hotel any more.
View over shanty town. Preferred roof fixing is by brick. About 1.3 M people live in Soweto but our guide suggested it was a lot more.

Novel repurposing of cooling towers as a bungee jumping facility.
