This is proof that we have to
love Africa, we were here at the Backpackers today and had no electricity at
all! There was no electricity in Cloveredene Benoni a part of the Johannesburg
area, and we had 2 Germans 2 Danish 1 girl from Switzerland and 1 from Austria and
just a bunch of overlanding tour guides. However everybody had allot of fun chatting
and joking on the deck and some just sleeping the Jet Lag away!! I think the
one that took no electricity the worst was ME!! Seeing that I work on the
website the whole day every day it was very irritating not being able to work at
all today! Well atleast I had good company and lots of laughs throughout the
day.
So let me tell you why you have
to love Africa. We phoned this morning at about 9:30 and reported the problem, the
lady at the other end said that they are aware of the fact that there is no
electricity in the area and that it should be sorted in approximately 3 hours. So
we wait patiently for four hours not just three walking around the premises and
deciding on the new driveway and en suite rooms soon to come(we bought the plot
next to Mufasa backpackers).We called again at 2:30 and were told that it will
be done in the next 30 minutes. Like you know it did not happen! Luckily we are
from Africa so we started a fire and just cooked in the traditional African
way! Chicken, potatoes veggies and salad all on the open fire and as always it
was delicious! Just as the guest started eating the power went on again..Smiles
all the way!
There is no time like African time.
Thankfully I was born and raised here so its all cool just annoying at times but
at least we always have a solution.
So that was my very productive
day.....singing the smurfs song to the tourist and doing nothing.. Pfffttt
please let it stay on now!!
Regards
Jana
