Now I'm in the SAA lounge in the Johannesburg airport, settling in for a long wait. It would have been a lot longer, but they wouldn't let us even check in for the flight until 1 pm so we found a little on the third floor of the airport, with chairs. It was hard staying awake, I had major problems sleeping last night and 6 am came early. This is a strange keyboard, so excuse the bad typing.

This has been the most over-the-top experience I could ever hope for my lifetime. The view out across the grass and trees is so peaceful, and when you encounter an animal the excitement is fantastic.

We fly out about 8 tonight, it's not quite three now. Be home midafternoon tomorrow.
