Soweto is a township outside of Johannesburg about 20 km. the area is what many people many describe as very recessed or what people would typically think of Africa. We arrived at our hostel around 11 and we decided to take a 2hr bike tour that started at 13:00. We knew that just driving around this area was a bit dodgy so taking a bike tour would be in our best interest. We were then meeting a friend of a friend who lives here who came by around 17:00.
Our bike tour was so interesting. We stopped in 3 parts of the township, the lower, middle and upper classes. It was amazing how the houses changed when you maybe walked 1 block. The living conditions seemed very poor in some areas which was crazy to see with your own eyes. I could not imagine living like that. We tried some traditional beer and sat in a restaurant where locals were eating traditional food.
We came back our our hostel and it was pouring raining. We hung out and waited for our friend to join us for dinner and a few drinks
