Tuesday/ a drive to the city 🚗

Here’s my round trip that I made on Tuesday, with a few stops.
I thought to stop in downtown Pretoria and walk around a little bit around Church Square, but decided against it.

I made my way to the city by using the Old Johannesburg Road, and then came back via the N1 highway.

The South African Air Force Memorial is a memorial to South African Air Force members who have died whilst in service of the South African Air Corps and its successor, the South African Air Force from 1915 to the present during times of war and times of peace. It was inaugurated in 1965.

Here’s downtown Pretoria, in a street crowded with minibus taxis. Honk honk! all the time. Are they honking at me? you think. No, at prospective passengers on the sidewalk.

This is not a tree. It is a cell phone tower.

Now making my way to the east side of the city along the M11 route. Many of the streets are lined with jacaranda trees like this one.

Inside the enormous Menlyn Park mall off Atterbury Street.

Sign outside the Starbucks store. The mall has a Seattle Coffee as well as a Starbucks.

A display in a store, offering some nice lighting options to help mitigate the darkness of load shedding (blackouts).
