Sunday/ landed in Johannesburg

IMG_9787 sm — This uniformed bear is at the Harrod’s store in Heathrow’s Terminal 1. It is for sale, for about US $1,600 !

IMG_9795 sm — We flew down to Johannesburg on an Airbus 340-600. These aircraft are not popular with airlines anymore : the four engines use too much fuel. (These days long haul flights and even trans-Atlantic flights are done with two engine aircraft). I’m standing at the top of the stairway before stepping down onto the tarmac where a shuttle bus was waiting to take us to the terminal.

We have landed in Johannesburg. One more leg on my journey to make, to Cape Town. I cannot write more; I have to run to the gate!
