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.

Left Cape Town for London Heathrow via Johannesburg. Our flight from Cape Town was delayed and we had to run to make the connection. Our suitcases didn’t make it on to the overnight flight to London and we had to wait till Monday evening to greet them at our accommodation in Maidenhead. So as not to delay start of  our walk along the Thames Path from Staines (where we left off last year). I opted to walk in my shiny new Florsheims. It was ok, the walking is easy and flat. We got as far as Windsor by lunchtime intending to do a tour of the castle. No jet lag after the long flight as only 1 hr time difference. We passed through Runnymede. A castle tour was not possible because of some fancy Knights of the Garter ceremony. We then continued to our abode at Maidenhead pleased to see Alison’s suitcase had arrive. Mine was about to be driven off by delivery guy who had dropped off wrong case, but we managed to get it sorted out before he shot off. On Tuesday we walked to Marlow wearing t...

We now relocate to Streatley for 3 nights. Using public transport to get from Henley to Reading picking up where we left off the day before. A train strike messed us sa round a bit, but we were able to partake of a full breakfast at the Catherine Wheel whilst waiting for bus to Reading. We walked to Pangbourne for light lunch and then onto Goring (Streatley). The plan was to treat ourselves to a day off on Sunday for our 40th wedding anniversary. This more or less went to plan. Our hotel was having renovations and hence ne evening meals. I dozed off after days long walk and we went out a bit lateish looking for dinner. We eventually found  a place still open and were wowed by the quality. The Mill of Mansfield is to be congratulated for its high quality fare. Although a day early we deemed this to be our anniversary dinner. Goring, across the river from Streatley is quite a special archetypal English village. Thisn skew brick arch bridge has a very skill full alignment of brick cou...

We took 14 seater local bus from Goring Station to Wallingford and picked up our walk where we left off the day before. Today’s target is Dorchester. As we are relocating digs we are carrying more weight, ie toothbrushes, clothes, iPads and the like. Crossing at Benson Lock weir. Great photo opportunities abound, but we have to press on. First sheep seen since starting the Thames Path last year. Dorchester has many sites featuring in «  Midsomer Murders ».  Good to be in this seat of intellectual rigour and higher learning. Friday- rest day. We did a bit of sight seeing of the Oxford monuments. Bridge of Sighs. The Radcliffe Camera, here seen without Inspecor Lewis chasing his suspects.
