I would have expected Johannesburg to Cape Town flight prices to be expensive on the 12th March (because of the Cape Argus Cycle tour), but I am surprised that Cape town to Johannesburg flight prices are so high. Interlink Airline prices have shot up to R1464.

Lesotho & South Africa

Paddington wrote up a pretty comprehensive report about his trip to Lesotho & South Africa. From Maseru (lots of barbers), Kruger ("national park bigger than the country I live in"), to catching a Shosholoza Meyl train from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth (longer than from "London Waterloo to Weymouth"), Addo National Elephant Park, Jeffreys Bay (not much to do other than surfing), Storms River, Plettenburg Bay, Oudtshoorn, Swellendam, Kaapstad and Johannesburg.
