Diana experiencing life as a temporary 'lady of leisure'- cocktails and antipasto platter at Montecasino (little Italy)! Jen's cousin Diana visited us for 3 days as she flew home to Australia from Europe. It was wonderful having her here- we loved showing her around and ensuring she experienced as much as possible of South Africa. She got a taste of life in the northern suburbs and saw the tiny ramshackle tin housing and poverty experienced by some in the black settlements.
A settlement near Pilansberg
We went to Moyo's for dinner on Tuesday night. Moyo's is a modern African restaurant which combines earthy African decor with delicious food & entertainment. Included in this was the mandatory tourist facepaints. Diana tried ostrich fillets, biltong, pap and the compulsory dom pedro at the end of any meal out. She was even lucky enough to have the experience of eating by candlelight both nights that she was here (there was electricity load shedding across Joburg, whereby electricty is randomly cut from certain areas in the power grid for a few hours!).
On Wednesday Jen and Diana visited Pilansberg National Park. The hippo's were very active and exciting to see as was a warthog followed by four babies... so cute!
We look forward to having more visitors in the future and sharing our experiences with them!!
