I saw something from the plane that ive not seen in a long time , RAIN .
After 22 flying hours , arrived in Joburg 6.30am to rain . Australia has been and still is in one of its worse droughts in 100 years so it was rather a shock and lovely for me to see rain .

At the airport i was meet by a local who i had been in contact over the net , a big thank u to u Ian .

Id booked my room at the local hostel and after a nice shower and a beer , i joined a free bus to the local shopping mall . I took a walk around had some lunch and spent some rand . Taking in all that i could but the flight was catching up with me and i was pleased when the bus arrived to take us back to the hostel .

After a broken sleep of some 12 hrs im now feeling like myself . Recieved an e-mail from australia about my bike , should be here on my birthday , the 20th of jan . For now ill do some local trips and catch up with Ian and some of his mates from the African bike club . Ill leave it for now . take care and regards to all Brian B.
