Joburg jolly

---

Flying via Mauritius, we were at the airport long enough to gawp at the shop windows selling Hugo Boss and Diesel (branded clothes wow!), queue at an exceedingly slow transfer desk and go straight to the gate where we boarded our plane to Joburg. Restless, with little energy for reading I instead wasted a good fours of my life watching Shallow Hal (not once did I laugh did I) and some film about Amelia Earhart. Directed by Mira Nair, you'd think great story, stars like Hilary Swank, Ewan McGregor, Richard Gere and Christopher Ecclestone, it's got to be good. You'd think.

Presumably South African Airways was as underwhelmed as I was as they didn't even bother to ensure that the film was finished by the time the plane landed, naturally assuming that anyone still watching would need a lobotomy (the evidence against me is mounting). Having endured both offerings, arriving at Joburg was a breeze, really.
