We arrived in Johannesburg after bouncing up and down over the Atlantic with little trouble. When we got to baggage claim our trunks were nowhere to be found. Lee stood in line at an information desk to find out that they had put the trunks in a back corner…not sure why. We loaded those onto baggage carts and headed on our way to find the IMB personnel sent to receive us. They loaded our bags and took us to McDonald’s for dinner. (It tasted just like in the US.) We spent the night at the Baptist Guesthouse.
Our internal clocks proved to be messed up because about 1am, 4 of us woke up for several hours. Thursday morning we had to shuffle some of our baggage before heading back to the airport for our second flight.
We were a bit nervous because we knew that they would be charging us baggage fees based on weight and didn’t know about the carry-ons. We ended up paying about what we expected and they didn’t weigh our carry-ons. :)
The plane was tiny, but it was a fun flight! We were in the very back and there were several empty seats. That way we were able to all look out the windows and enjoy God’s creation. Africa is very beautiful!
