The Workshop and Natural Science Museum

Today we visited The Workshop for the Sunday Market, and it was mostly men's jerseys and shoes. So we didn't buy much! In the mall, we stopped for mutton curry which was so hot that we had to go and buy ice cream. A popular souvenir is a decal-ed ostrich egg here, as we noticed.

Then we visited the Natural Science Museum, and it was in City Hall downtown and FREE! The mounted animals were so neat and gave so much more insight as to the real life size of all the things we read about. It was like The Museum of Nature in Ottawa, but showed animals killing others and had fake blood and all. A more harsh realistic version here! But they had an amazing part which showed the history of homo erectus and homo habilis and actually had artifact skulls and all since South Africa has some of the oldest remains. I am hoping we'll stop at the Cradle of Humankind just outside of Johannesburg on the way to Kruger Park.

Downtown seemed perfectly safe, and we came across very few white people. But it's busy there and there are so many people that nobody really noticed us. No stupidly-dressed "gangsters" here at all! :) Love it!
