First day in Johannesburg!!

We have safely landed in Johannesburg today, and had a great flight!!! We arrived to our hotel, unpacked and took a quick nap! Crazy to think that in the past 24 hours we have been on 3 continents and crossed the equator!! We then had lunch at the hotel, in their beautiful gardens! After that we all headed to the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg!! The museum is set up as an academic learning center as well as a memorial. There were exhibits on the history and events of Apartheid as well as outdoor architectural elements that provided symbolism for Apartheid, allowing individual reflection. Each one of us was impacted and affected by different aspects of the museum, which influenced our greater understanding of the museum. We then went back to the hotel and had dinner at a local resteraunt, it was delicious!! Overall an amazing first day in South Africa!!
