The hotel made arrangements for a car and driver to take us on a city tour of Johannesburg. Actually - the city is really clean. It was a beautiful, sunny clear day.

| The Apartheid Museum |
We toured the Apartheid Museum - a very thorough depiction of the struggle by the South African people for their freedom. And a powerful tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela. During our visit - President Mandela was in his residence in Houghton Estate near our hotel. But he was very ill. He passed away later in the year.
