First Impressions of Africa

As we drive out of Johannesburg on our way to Botswana I am surprised by the extent of open space and the tranquil environment. There are few people and cars and miles and miles of open fields. I feel almost under-stimulated after the busy chaotic nature of Sri Lanka, where one city blends into the next, roads are full of people, cars, tuks, cows, cats, and dogs, and lined with busy, cluttery shops and homes.
