This will depend greatly on wifi and Internet availability as we go through various countries.

After all the things I didnt like about South America the rain the insects http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/South-Africa/Gauteng/Johannesburg//blog-771516.html After Heathrow giving us a parting gift of a snowstorm which meant the wings had to be deiced we arrived at 9.50am local time at OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg.
