On this leisurely day,
I was able to replace my confiscated can of hairspray!

But the price was over the top,
In the Mandala Mall shop.

But with pleasure,
We shopped in this upscale mall with leisure.

We had an Oriental lunch that was served with care,
While having a pleasant view of the Mandela Square.

Mandela’s oversized statue was a big draw,
As everyone stopped and looked in awe.

The locals looked happy and content,
A colorful, all age and all size, blend.

We returned to the hotel in time,
Without having seen beggars, homeless, or signs of crime.

Inside for dinner was rather cool,
So we ate outside by the pool.

The songs of the many birds,
Sounded like pleasing words.

This evening 21 people checked in that will travel with us
Starting tomorrow, in the “Highlights of South Africa” Tour bus.
