Perfect Pitch

JOHANNESBURG -- We all went to the Cullinan Diamond Mine on one of our first days in South Africa. Over time, they have developed a little town with restaurants and shops, and the weather was beautiful. Honestly, the tour was a little boring, but our guide was pretty cool. Since we arrived a bit late, we were rushed through the tour -- giving us very little time to learn about the diamond mine.

They had many replicas of the diamonds they have found, which are more than impressive -- not the replicas, but the history of diamonds found there. My favorite part of the tour was the huge mining hole that we got a great view of.
