Johannesburg to Durban

Shuttle back to the airport, leaving early as we heard a news report that the check-in system at many airports around the world, including Johannesburg, had a system failure. Didn’t appear so and check-in was swift. Arrived in Durban about 12.30 and picked up a 4WD Ford as we planned to drive the Sani Pass (3,400 mts) into Lesotho. First of all we made drove to Aviocean who were handling the incoming container. Unfortunately the woman handling the case was in meetings for the rest of the day so we drove on to our B & B, Mackaya Bella, a 1930’s house in Glenwood. Nicki the proprietor is Australian but has lived in Africa for many years. Mike her husband was also frustrated with the current shipping as he has exports waiting for shipment. Very loud thunder with lightning into the evening.
