A Weekend in Johannesburg

We just now came home from a very nice weekend in Johannesburg. We had found a nice place to stay in Randburg, which is one of the nicest parts of Johannesburg. It was a self-catering cottage, with a loft bedroom. Beautiful rustic interior decoration, and a nice garden.

The main reason for the trip was a concert with Elton John at the Coca Cola Dome, just a few kilometers from where we stayed. The Dome is the biggest of its kind in Africa, and was really PACKED! The concert was VERY nice, especially when he played his "classics", like Yellow Brick Road, Daniel, Your Song and the theme from the Lion King!

We also went to the Oriental Plaza. I was a bit disappointed because I had expected some chinese shops, but it was only Indian-Pakistani shops, selling clothes, materials and shoes!


We did a lot of shopping at different Malls! We also went to Hartebeespoort Dam which is one of the biggest dams in South Africa.


I think the Dam Wall has a beauty of its own. Almost like old bridges in Europe...


We also went to the Cameleon Village, at the northenmost tip of the dam. There was the biggest curio shop I have ever seen!

It's very nice to be home again!!!
