We headed for Pretoria as we had to pick up Lil's new passport from the NZ High Commission there.
Managed to snap this shot of a sign on the highway on the outskirts of Joburg that says "Hi jacking hot spot" it didn't seem a good place to stop and take a decent photo.
Saw this cell phone tower disguised as a tree on the way into Pretoria.
Found this one in the grounds of the Pretoria Girls' High School. The pole is even textured to look like bark. We passed it as we walked to get the passport.We checked into a backpackers near Loftus Stadium and caught up on laundry and managed to order a new stove at Hiker's Paradise at Centurion on the outskirts of the city. In the evening we were able to find a sports bar and watch the All Blacks rugby team beat South Africa albeit in the last few minutes.
The backpackers had a lot of Peace Corp volunteers and several students from different countries doing internships or courses at Pretoria University. There were also several young men who were going to watch their favourite team play rugby at the stadium.
In the morning we bought some groceries for our trip to Kruger National park.
