First stop South Africa. As we had a month to wait before the car was due in Port Elizabeth, we decided to take advantage of the tourist infrastructure along the Garden Route, flying first into Johannesburg and then onto Cape Town before taking the Baz Bus, a hop on hop off backpacker minibus along the Garden Route. Not the most challenging travelling but a nice ease back into the whole thing (bad beds, communal showers, packet food...)

Joburg was short and sweet. As it was pissing it down we spent our one full day in the city in the fortuitously enormous and brilliant Apartheid Museum and then taxied it back to the hostel.  Other than that our only interaction with the city was the local shopping mall, for everything from post office to restaurant to ATM. As we found out later this was pretty typical for a South African city they rely on shopping malls and cars completely and most of the city centres are dead and considered dangerous.
