We made it! After 20 hours of plan rides, the longest a 12 hour ride from London to Johannesburg we made it to South Africa. During our long layover in London many of us rode the Tube into downtown to see some of the famous London sites like the London Bridge, Big Ben, Westminster Abby and others. It was a quick tour of the city that including eating some local grub, the most interesting of which might have been the black pudding.
This next few days we will try to get onto the time change and regroup/reconnect as a site since we have not all been together for over five weeks now. On Sunday we will head to Pretoria and go to an Afrikaans church and then meet our host family that we will be living with for a week.
