Day 1. Johannesburg to Dubai
With my last project in Botswana finished, I jumped on the JNB to Dubai flight - one step closer to China :)
With my last project completed and the client left in good hands
with a fellow colleague, I got onto the flight out of Botswana and
headed to Johannesburg. I'd left my bicycle in a hotel I
usually stay at while jumping from country to country (via JNB) and
would once again pick it up on the way through.
My flight out of Johannesburg wasn't till 2pm the following day,
so no need to rush with packing the bike and sorting the cycling
clothes from my work clobber.

[My thoughts exactly]
At JNB airport they insisted in wrapping my bike with clear
plastic wrap, apparently all Emirates flights require you to have
this done now. Next time I'll ask why, but I half suspect that the
number of lost items and crime at the airport had something to do
with it. With that done, the rest was smooth flying to
Dubai.
