It's retarded cold in Jo'burg

Will and I took a bus from warm Mozambique at 7pm the other day and arrived in arctic temperatures in Johannesburg at 3:30 in the morning. What? Who schedules that crap? So it was 3:30am and about 20 degrees outside and we had to get to the airport to pick up our rental car whenever that office opened. We shared a taxi with two nice girls from England and had a very friendly taxi driver who told us of all the woes of Africa. When we made it to the airport we found a comfy seat that was actually much like a bed, and whipped out the sleeping bag to cover up with. For some reason it does not seem that they heat anywhere around here, and doors are also hard to come by, so whatever temperature it is outside... there is no escaping it. After several cups of coffee, a purchase of a South African Rugby fleece hat, and the application of socks, we started to warm up, at least a little.After we got out awesome rental car (a VW Citi Golf) we discovered that driving on the left side of the road is even more difficult with an oddly placed stick shift and no power steering. When was the last time you drove a car without power steering?? For me it was about 1997. Yikes.
We are now at the Indaba Hotel in Jo'burg and our room has an upstairs and a downstairs! It is kind of strange and unneccessary, but awesome at the same time. There is a bedroom upstairs with a thatched roof, and downstairs has a living room and bathroom. The unfortunate thing is that the heater is upstairs and the downstairs remains frigid... unfortunately frigid in the bathroom. It is rather fun though to have to bundle up in July!
We are sadly leaving tomorrow night to head back to the states. I will miss Africa!
