Been hankering after a Segway experience for ages! Set off at 9am on a 2 hour cross country tour of the Sun City grounds ... Around 2 golf courses, along the boundary of a safari park and dropped by a crocodile pool. Great, great fun! It was quite cool when we set off, but by the end the temperature must have been close to 30 deg.
One of the guys plus the tour leader jumped into the crocodile pit to retrieve some golf balls when a "logodile" came to life and made a lunge for them - those guys scaled the walls of the boundary in a single leap ... Never seen anything like it! It was hilarious!
Had another sleepless night ... Jet lag this trip has really knocked us about. Still, that's what this stopover in Sun City is all about. Lunch by the pool and a siesta is helping.
Pity we don't have a balcony because the view from our hotel room certainly warrants one. You can see what an oasis this is, with the barren hills as a backdrop.
By the way, I know I've been raving on about the breakfast spreads, but, to be honest, all the other food is not making an impression on us. Tonight we had a so-called traditional Afrikaans buffet. Basically it amounted to a few stews and curries. Alan tried the most exotic dish on offer: ostrich neck stew, which was just like the beef stew but with lots of bones and very little meat. The accompaniments were all the vegies and salads we have in England or Australia.
Points of difference would be: massive selection of desserts, and above average choice of quality cheeses. We like the olives too ... Wonder if they're grown locally, must find out.
