Lots to say cont.

Joburg was great. We stayed at this 5 star hotel…hands down the nicest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s called the Emperor’s Palace and it’s this whole complex with 3 hotels and a massive Vegas style casino, performance theatres, loads of restaurants and shops, and a huge arcade area complete with a roller coaster and bumper cars (all indoors). The rooms were sweet and there was a ginormous breakfast buffet included. I had a three course breakfast. You could have absolutely anything imaginable and it was so beautiful! There was the whole cooked breakfast area (with all of the English breakfast options), every type of breakfast meat in the world, an omelette/fried eggs man to make you exactly what you wanted, cereal/yogurt/milk bar, smoothie/fresh juice bar, European breakfast with about 40 types of breads and various meats and cheeses, waffles, pancakes, flapjacks, bowls of fresh cut fruit, pastries/quiches, even sushi and noodles for the Asians! It was madness. I loved every minute of it. So the England team left on Saturday evening, but paid for Lee-Ann and I to stay an additional night so that we could drive back from Joburg on Sunday. Saturday we all went to a mall and even to the movies in the mall. It was so exciting!! (Reminder: There are NO cinemas in Swaziland) I saw Click, which was actually really good. Sunday when Lee-Ann and I drove back, she wasn’t feeling well, so I got to drive all the way back from Joburg to Bulembu (around 5 hours)! It was so exciting. I love driving and haven’t done it in about 2 months now, so it was wonderful.
