It's really a long long long flight travelling half of the globe. We departed from Toronto, changed the flight in Amsterdam, crossed equator, arrived Johannesburg, the capital of South Africa. It took about 24 hours including 4-hours waiting time in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
Climate is also opposite, although not much different. The time we left Toronto home was late autumn, then we arrived to a early summer, warm and humid.
Dear friends came to pick us up at the airport. We were so happy to see them, especially landing in a new continent we never thought off to pay a visit in our life.
