<em>Paul Kruger House, Pretoria</em>
After we saw his likeness in Church Square, we visited Paul Kruger's old house, which is now a museum. To be honest, we weren't that impressed, because we've seen old rich houses before. This house is nice, but it's got nothing on a Newport, RI mansion.
Our tour guide, however, was pretty enamored. He kept saying "it must be good to be President!" - seriously, he said it at least 5 times to us. He seemed to have no concept that leading a country is a lot of responsibility, he just thought you get a lot of cool stuff.
