Day two in Joburg

Not much to report.  We have all been trying to catch up on our sleep.  So far we are impressed with how clean everything is.  The food is delicious and reasonable.  Tried a new fruit this morning.  I couldn't get the name of it.  Was about as big as a kiwi and was very tart with crunchy seeds.  Chuck said that I should just swallow the seeds like an oyster.  John said it tasted like a gooseberry.
We are across the street from a huge modern shopping center --supposedly the best shopping in Africa.  We were there for a while yesterday.  Will return in a little bit for some items forgotten in our quick exit from Rockford.
We leave this hotel at noon and travel 20 minutes to our new hotel and join the group we will be traveling with.  This hotel was a $100 less a night than where we are headed.  In this hotel the WiFi is free if you get a voucher from the front desk and sit in the lobby.  The price is right.  That's it for now.
