We arrived at Jo'Berg Airpoort at 5.00 am from Perth and waited on Helena's flight from London, due in at 8.00 am. The hours passed slowly and by 10.00am the flight from England had arrived but none of the passengers had come through to arrivals. No-one at the airport could give a reason as to the whereabouts of the aircraft which seemed most odd. Finally, at almost 11.00, Helena appeared. It transpired that the Captain had got lost on the airport and had cruised into the wrong bay so had to wait for a tow truck because 747s can't reverse!
This late start meant a dash up to Blyde River Canyon Lodge - our first stop off in Africa.
The B&B was simply gorgeous, set in a botanical gardens with Zebra, Nyala, Baboons and Vervet monkeys roaming freely. After a lovely meal we retired to bed exhausted.
Blyde River Lodge - Note the zebra on the lawn in the background!
