Last week in Joburg

We moved in with Fallon and Jarad for a week whilst we sorted out the rest of the Landie and many trips to different camping and outdoor shops. Tor, Jarad and another on of their friends are building a paintball field at the top of the plot which looks like its going to be awesome. We had a go with the guns but will have a proper game when its finished by the time we get back to Joburg.

Fallon took us on a night out in Joburg to a club called Chicagos, which was pretty cool and we showed off a few strawpedos! There was a massive spinning wheel for random shots choices behind one of the bars and after sampling a few too many of the different shooters (shots) we even landed on the free round. Thursday started off with a Wimpy breakfast and milkshakes, the rest of the day we lazed outside in the sun. Me Sean and Jamie decided to cook Chicken a-la King for Fallon, Candice and Jarad and it came out suprisingly good.

On the Friday we went out for dinner at a nice Italian place, Primis and had a Jam-Jar cocktails, massive jars of spirits and fruit juices with our meals then followed on to another club, Voodoo Lounge which was like a chilled bar/club with people wandering around smoking hubbly bubbly (sheesha).

The weekend was raining and we sorted out fishing rods and reels and a few knives for when we catch some monsters to cook and eat them. Unfortunately our documents hadn't arrived by the weekend and our aim to leave on Sunday didn't happen. There was also a council strike which meant once we had recieved all documentation it was still going to be a few days before we could set off. We had a nice Beef Stew and Pap cooked by Kelvin and Sonia on the Saturday night after watching the Tri Nations rugby and a good SA win.

We travelled to the north of Joburg to see my aunt, uncle and cousins Sandy, Tony, Matthew and Taylor on Monday and went for a wander round on the golf estate they live on. We headed back home in the afternoon and got a taste of the Joburg traffic which was "cuck!". Our documents had arrived today so I took them to be registered and due to a backlog from the strike we only got them back the next day. That night we had Fish, Chips and a kg of Prawns between me and Jamie from 'Fish & Chippa' which was unbelievably good!

Tuesday was our last full day in Joburg and fitted our number plates, cigarrette lighter to change our camers and things and fixed the fuel gauge on the Landie. We cooked another meal for Jarad and Fallon, this time Spaghetti Bolognese which also turned out suprisingly good.

By Wednesday everything was ready and we set off for Kimberley.
