Back in SA that is! What a mission but I made it. Travel Insurance were pretty set on making me rejoin the tour but I finally managed to pursuade them I wasn't fit enough to fly straight to the highest major city in the world and get all active again with my tour group. Luckily the tour leader wrote them a letter saying if I wasn't 100% then I couldn't rejoin cos they wouldn't take responsibility for me so they finally gave in and offered to fly me out. 11 days after lurking in my hotel!!
I mentioned my family was in SA and would rather go there and they said no problem at all! Pretty lucky as I would have had to change my London to SA flight which was 200 pounds plus any fare increases... Actual flight here was a bit long though as I had to go via Atlanta and then Senegal.
I had about a 7 hour layover in Atlanta so decided to go and check out the city. Bit of an eye opener! Think I ended up in the wrong part of town though cos I was in da hood with some pretty crazy characters around. One old dude with a hoodie even tried to have a go at me but managed to duck across traffic in a nick of time.
Saw one funny thing tho - there were a bunch of these huge posters in the streets. Prime advertising spots! They really will try sue anyone! I mean if a coke doesn't taste like u thought it would then take it back or chuck it! It's not hard....
Will be heading down to Durban on Fri night so hope to catch up with everyone on the weekend. Think there's an open party at Matty's house on Sat night!
