Day 9 - OR Tambo (Johannesburg) Airport, South Africa


In two hours I fly home ... on South African Airways ...


Today we spent the day filming the airport, check-in, lounges etc for a piece that we are putting together for the South Africa episode.


My stay at the Intercontinental was great ... an impressive airport hotel.


So - highlights of the past few days - The Saxon, The Royal Malewane, honey badgers, cheetah cubs, leopards ... vultures ... and the wild dog & hyena in a chase - apparently a truly one-in-a-billion sighting ...


Ahhhh ... sadness is such a horrible feeling.

Ladies & Gentlemen, on the flight deck tonight ....

With the "producer" for the day - from SAA - the adorable Janet Cooper
