RED BUS TOUR OF JOHANNESBURG

The Curtis's, Lees, Heatons and Roses took a tour on the Red HOHO Bus 

One stop was the Golf Reef Hotel with beautiful grounds

The Hotel houses a casino and food court.  It's very pretty.

The architecture downtown was a mix of many cultures.  This building reminded me of New Orleans.

In front of all the stores were blankets of goods that street vendors sold.

This is the very imposing Govt. building in downtown Joburg

During Apatheid the large Carlton Hotel was used by famous visiting dignitaries.  Now it is closed.

Many of the nicer buildings are unoccupied, but the city is trying to revitalize itself.
