Soweto by bike

Had an amazing day in Soweto today. I took a biking tour with the lovely guides from Soweto Bicycle Tours which was a really great experience. I got to taste local beer, some meat they referred to as cow cheeks, ice lollies and a huge and incredibly fatty sandwich. I must have high-fived like a hundred kids and not a single person we saw on the way didn’t greet us. We also got a great explanation by the guide on the Hector Pietersen memorial site that was so touching I couldn’t stop my eyes from flooding over. Going by bicycle was a great way to both see the old house of Nelson Mandela and actually get to meet and talk to real people of the Soweto township. Highly recommended if you’re around.

  1. You know you are more than welcome, dear. The skirt is second hand and I have had it for years without ever wearing it or realizing how perfect it was for travels. Long enough, dark enough, comfortable – and with a pocket for the little camera! haha
