    First day in South Africa - Pretoria

    The day started finding Francesca in the queue of the passport controls, which was a very pleasant surprise, since the queue was very long and the airport very big!
    Getting the car was a real adventure! After a very long queue, the guy tried first to give us the wrong car!
    Driving was easier than expected, and I got used to it quite fast!

    After checking in at the Hotel 224 in Pretoria m, we took a shower, made a plan for the afternoon and then directly out in the street!

    The experience in the city was not as expected! The city is chaotic, very noisy, dirty and gives a huge feeling of danger! People often stared at us, made comments about us and talked loud. We took dinner at KFC, the cash had a cage in front of it to divide the staff from the clients!!!

    We decided it was best to get home before darkness and spend the evening safe at the hotel!
