And it's very hot. We've been set quite a punishing schedule by the British Council - since we've been here we've been to Soweto, visited Nelson Mandela's family home and the Museum of Apartheid. Anyway, here's a few pics - watch out, they're big pics, and I haven't had time to edit them: Arrival in Jo'burg - Left to Right Matthew, Tanya, Louise and Matt No Guns! Nelson Mandela's house in Soweto Me and Nelson Mandela! At the Apartheid Museum Weaver bird nests in the garden of our B&B Power station in Soweto Anyway, that's all for now, more updates when I get a chance...    posted by Alex at 3:37 PM on Tuesday, November 16, 2004    4 comments  |  links to here Comments (4): Hey Jon did't know you are reading this too :0.
