Bike Brigade

day 2.0
Bike tour through Soweto

Our trip planners thought it would be fun to see the largest township in South Africa on bike, and despite some of the groups early hesitation, the day proved to be hilly, hilarious and as us usual full of history. Soweto is short for South-Western townships and it's population accounts for nearly one-third of the total population of Johannesburg and all eleven official languages can be heard here. Needless to say, it was the most perfect way to end our short stay in Johannesburg!

the place the makes it all happen

such a tropical place inside, we also got good at entertaining ourselves with hand games

such a pleasant surprise for lunch! don't let the looks fool you
this egg-cheese-cucumber- lettuce- tomato-frie sandwich was DELICIOUS!

tribute to the 1976 Soweto Uprising, when police opened fire on
protesting students who were only armed with rocks

fast friends in Soweto
