Janiceburg


I left Durban at 05h15 this morning and got to Jhb just after 11am. Its also hot here. I ate something that I haven't eaten for many years. Here are some photos of the good old "Prickly Pear" or "Desert Fig" They came to S Africa from Mexico about 200 years ago. They grow mostly in the Eastern Cape and there is an annual Prickly Pear festival in Uitenhage. And yes I did get one of those fine hair - like thorns stuck in my finger.
