Johannesburg to Blyde Canyon

---

Early (ish) start to get taxi to the airport to meet the group who has just arrived from the Uk

We met Carole-Anne and Jason (our guides) and the rest of the group came out of the arrivals following an overnight flight

We then had a fairly long journey to Blyde River - the early part of the journey went through open strip coal mines and old power stations which were still working although so inefficient and needing repair - part of the reason for this load shedding that goes on. Arrived at Blyde canyon in time for a short before supper in the restaurant. Blyde is a 3rd biggest canyon in the world similar to, but much smaller than Grand Canyon.
