Setting sail from Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a city that comes with plenty of baggage, and it remains a place where the divide between the haves and have-nots is stark. But urban renewal is transforming former no-go zones into the city's most happening new neighbourhoods, and there are some excellent museums for those who want to grapple with South Africa's difficult past, including the moving Apartheid Museum.
