Just returned from South Africa, meant to be a birthday treat.
Immigration were very rude on entry. We were expecting warmish weather as it's the start of their summer, but it rained constantly. Almost every attempt at conversation was met with some reference to colour or race, understandable given the history but still rather offputting. One of our friends got mugged (to be fair he did do something risky, i.e. go out late at night and come back from the minibus taxi terminus downtown) and we got fleeced by all the meter taxis. The connecting flight was delayed so we almost missed the returning one to the UK. Now I'm feeling like I'm coming down with a cold (air conditioning on the plane, probably) and have masses of housework to catch up on! I know we're lucky to have been able to travel at all etc but surely IANBU to feel this was a colossal waste of time - just want somewhere to vent!!
