Enjoying fabulous fall weather. Other than eating the largest cheese burger I have ever seen and waddling back to our room and passing out, I don't remember too much from day one. 30 hours flying, even business class, was totally exhausting.
Picked up by our driver and taken to the train station for our trip to Cape Town. In the process, got the grand tour of old town Jo'berg. Really and truly looks like a war was fought here. So many abandoned and burned out buildings. Sad little alley like shops. Apparently, as the town degenerated, all of the core businesses fled to the outskirts.
Our driver so kindly assisted us with our luggage through the heart of the Jo'berg train station, helping us dodge the usual riffraff found in these places. I only had to shake off one guy that really really wanted to help me with my bag. We did our best power walk to the little waiting room for the "Premiere Classe Train" which was full of rather old and infirm people eating those suspicious little crust-less sandwiches. A scene very much like you would see on a cruise ship.
Waiting...
Kicking back in our cabin...
