Africa's Kingdom of Pleasure

October 19, 2013

No, this post isn't R-rated, that's actually the slogan of Sun City. With no weekend trip plans to speak of for the month of October (gasp!), we decided to take a day trip to Sun City to see what it's all about. A mere two-hour drive from Joburg, it is South Africa's version of Vegas meets Disneyland (in an odd sort of way). Sun City includes (in addition to many other things) a casino, a golf course, a giant outdoor wave pool, and an over-the-top hotel. The main attraction is the Palace of the Lost City, which is supposedly one of the most opulent hotels on the planet. We perused the grounds of the hotel (so I could take a few photos of the buildings and the stunning jacaranda trees), and spent the day relaxing in the sun and enjoying margaritas on the fake sandy beach.
