Go up the hill some way and stop and turn around. It's about the best view of the skyline; marred, alas, by that great concrete shoebox that is the Jhb General Hospital. Alternative: go back to Rosebank Mall and get up on the S edge of that top parking level where they have the flea market. Since you must have complained to Google maps showing the Apartheid Museum as being at the site of the Civic Centre, they have now made that the site of what I still call the War Museum, which is actually in the Zoo area, which they show as being the site of the SAAF Museum, which is actually in Pretoria... Thoroughly enjoyed your various posts and hope you get a chance to make another visit to SA some time in the future. BTW Your SABC skyscraper pic is not displaying. That is know by its inmates, of whom I was one, as Dithering Heights. And seeing as you have a Titanic reference: What's the difference between the Titanic and the SABC? The Titanic had a better orchestra. rgds- Tim - in London W11 Charles, Go N along Barry Herzhog from your hotel all the way to a T-junction and turn L into Tana and then right into 3rd Avenue Linden.
