I forgave Virgin Blue the cancellation of my flight. The seats were comfortable, the food really good and if I hadn't got a cold which made use lots of tissues I would have enjoyed myself. How come that all their stewardesses are blond and young? The dark and more mature are relegated to the less exalted jobs on the ground. Arrival in Johannesburg. I am safe in the comfortable hotel with plenty of tissues and aspirin. The next day though I feel better and ready to explore. Around the hotel there are shops, cinemas, eating places, even a small museum on the history of apartheid. There is plenty to keep me entertained for a day or two. Pity I don't gamble, there is also a mini Las Vegas.
This is the first time I am in a a country where the majority of the population is black. I am trying not to stare but it is difficult; most people are interesting and many, especially women -stunning. They have a special style, a manner of dress and grooming which sets off characteristic features; twisted hairdos enhance their special beauty and plain but smart clothes set off model type bodies.
