Wimpy's, at the domestic flight terminal of the Johannesburg Airport, has one of the best breakfasts in the world. It was the only place open this morning at 5 while I was waiting for the last leg of my trip to Umtata. Two eggs, two pieces of bacon, two sausages, a tomato, one slice of toast (in deference to Dr. Atkins) and a cup of coffee for $4.62.
The flight from Dullles was OK, but too long. No stop in Senegal, so 15 hours in the air. Luckily the seat next to me was empty so I could spread out a little and get a few power naps in.
The person who met me at the airport is a volunteer here in Umtata. He has his own blog, though I forget the name. You can google Jesse Zink or Mthatha to get to it. It has pictures and is infinitely more interesting than my blog.
Tomorrow I start at Nelson Mandela Hospital. It is just down the hill from my house and looks like an easy walk. As best as I can tell, I will be working with rotating interns, house officers and medical students, though they have different titles here.
