Driving in Jo'Burg

We are definitely into a pattern now. Wake up, coffee and check email in bed - Sandy on his laptop, me on my phone as my laptop is still not connecting to network in cottage. 7am here is 3pm in Oz so can reply to anything urgent then. Breakfast, and then head to Uni around 9/9.30. Takes about 20/25mins to drive to the Uni, roads are like Port Moresby in terms of potholes, but unlike anything else I've seen in terms of the quality of cars - the other day we were at traffic lights beside a brand new audi, a brand new porsche, and a mercedes that was a taxi! Drivers are similar to POM in terms of carelessness and disregard for road rules, but it is all done at a much greater speed- after all if you have a brand new porsche you're not going to do 40kmh are you? We toddle along in our rent-a-wreck - the other night we followed Hilary home and had to do 60kmh to keep up with her and it felt like 80! We've been lucky so far not to be stuck in traffic too much and are more often going against the heavy traffic so we can zoom along watching people at a standstill opposite.
