I know it's Saturday and I'm posting. The only reason I know its Saturday is because my alarm went off. Being retired, I never know what day it is and so I set my alarm for Saturdays only and it shouts "bottle store--bottle store...". Bottle stores are closed on Sundays you know.
Anyway, I got good and bad news today. The good news is that my passport price has been dropped to 1 700 Nkandlas. The bad news is that my consulate has been closed down here in CT and now I have to travel to Pretoria to the embassy there. That means more Nkandlas for travel.
Many years ago, I told my wife that I will never ever in my lifetime go to the Transvaal again. No more mealies or mine dumps for me ever.
Sadly, I have no choice but to go back. May as well make it exiting by going by train. The Shongaloza thing looks good. They serve food on it I think. Must Google it now. Perhaps they even have a bar on it.
