Jo’ burg was a surprise. Of course I had heard how developed this African city was. I had even seen pictures and watched documentaries. Still, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean it was and how courteous the people were, even though my friend Afi says it’s because we didn’t enter the city center – Jo’ burg CBD! Another surprise was how pear-shaped (really really pear shaped) and proud about it the women were. I thought of all my long tops bought to cover my God given (and compared to SA women tiny) hips and longed for the boldness to just flaunt it like they did. Ha!
Afi and I worked briefly together in Lagos before she relocated to Jo’ burg, so it was a pleasant surprise to hook up with her in SA. We had dinner together and went to MonteCasino, another beautiful surprise. I thought we had been transported to little Italy without knowing.
Our hotel, the Sandton Hilton really spoiled us. Breakfast in bed was fit for a king. If I go on eating this way, I doubt that my jeans will take me back home and I only brought the one.
Next morning, we packed up and headed off to the Sun City Resort. It was a 2 hour ride which I assumed would go on uneventfully until we got to a check point!
Aha, I knew we were still in Africa.
Now, Sun City….
A million thrills, one destination…
And hubby unleashing an adventurous and slightly danger-loving side I had never seen before.

Isn't it pretty amazing how you can be married to someone for 10 years and still discover a different side to your spouse! LOL
