As the group finally landed at JNB we were exhausted and famished from the lack of sleep and good food on the twenty hour flight. Prior to the trip the group did some research to find out that a great place to eat was Gramadoelas, an exotic South African restaurant located in the heart of Johannesburg. The restaurant was on the way to the hotel which made a perfect place to stop and eat. This restaurant is quite special to the city of Johannesburg by it's long lasting service from the late 1960's and it's list of famous guests from Elton John to the Queen of England and even Nelson Mandella. The food was incredible, one of our favorite dishes was the Gramadoelas Chocolate Cake Rodel, it has the basic chocolate cake necessities with hints of Jam- a popular addition to South African dishes.
We finally left the restaurant and continued to drive to the hotel. As we reached the hotel we were just amazed! The hotel had looked so much better in person than in the pictures with it's modern twist. Checking in was a breeze and we headed up stairs to see the room. The room was huge, perfect for the five of us. However, Peyton somehow managed to break one of the beds and he ended up having to sleep on the floor and leave the group with a huge fine. All in all, this five-star hotel was a comfortable and luxurious experience.
