The day after our gorilla trek, Saturday, December 28, we flew to Johannesburg, South Africa to begin the second half of our vacation. There were no jet ways on the planes. We had to climb the steps to ascend and descend. My thigh muscles were so sore from the mountain climbing to see the gorillas that I could hardly make it. We arrived in Johannesburg about 7pm and we stayed in the same hotel we stayed in on our way to Nairobi the week before. Here is a view of the backside of the hotel. It was a lovely place to stay. We knew we were not in the bush anymore. (electricity, air conditioning, paved roads, etc.)
The next morning we went to the World Bazaar. It is a flea market that is within walking distance of our hotel. We were warned to be very careful because of pick pocketers and to return to the hotel no later than 4 pm. After than bit of information, I chose to leave my camera at the hotel. Chuck took his however and the following pictures are some he took at the World Bazaar. Besides having many, many stalls of African crafts, lots of food and other items, there were street performers.
Here are samples:
