OK so we took Betsy to the nearest car repair centre and was given the bad news that the clutch had broken and would have to be replaced. Ouch. £620.

The manager said he would get it done for us today but if not definitely by tomorrow morning. So, another day in Johannesburg. Without transport it is not a great place to get around, so we would have to amuse ourselves at the local shopping centre, again, and treat ourselves to a decent lunch. Life could be worse.

After a lengthy afternoon and early evening we were joined by Phil and his flat mate Martin and we were taken to a nice bar, somewhere in the city and not sure what it was called. where we had further drinks. I survived till about 10 and headed home leaving the youngsters to carry on playing. I think they came back a hour or 2 later.
