The Monday morning tour of Kliptown provoked thoughtful contemplation of our riches and beauty in the US. The tour group gradually recovered from the depths of Joburg's seedy underbelly and came together for a delightful lunch break at Chez Alina in Soweto. The restaurant offered another wonderful story of people emerging from repression and achieving personal success and bringing others along. Lunch was prepared and served by an enterprising group of individuals and it was delicious. We were feeling all the feels as we were entertained with music and dancing and dessert.
Our group divided up after lunch, with half going to the Apartheid Museum and the others going to Cambanos Curio Centre for some retail therapy.
Back at the hotel, there was just enough time to change for dinner and enjoy a lecture on the gold and diamond legacies of Johannesburg.
