Dolphin Point Bed & Breakfast Amanzimtoti

... in Durban is limited. Despite almost constant rain, I've enjoyed walking around the city a bit and visiting several small museums.

Tomorrow I'm heading up into the northern Drakensberg mountains, where I hope the weather will be good enough to hike and ride horseback over the next couple of days.

... effeminate, civilised young black man, was anxious to educate us on other matters.
Religion. After going over the ancestor thing, the traditions and culture, he was obviously relieved to move on to Jesus.
Christianity is very much alive in S.A.. Flying in from Johannesburg, a charming lady sitting next to me struck up a conversation, beaming and smiling, she eventually produced a large self-help book, based on the bible.
To be converted ...

... and head to Sharks stadium to buy tickets for Saturday's match (Brumbies v Sharks) and check out the Shark Tank store.  Very impressive.  Drive along beachfront which is lined on one side by tired looking multi story buildings and on the other a lovely clean beach but not a lot of "no swimming" signs.  I wonder if that means totally no swimming or swim at your own risk.  There are heaps of Indians... like EVERYWHERE!  It was like you were in Goa or something ...

... 90 percent, Whites at 8.98 percent and Colored at 2.89 percent. 48.9 percent of the population is under the age of 24, while 4.2 percent are over the age of 65. This really made us feel old. The median age in the city is 25 years old, and for every 100 females, there are 92.5 males. 27.9 percent of city residents are unemployed. 88.6 percent of the ...

... in Südafrika nur ein Nebeneffekt des Alkoholkonsums ist. Meine Güte: Am Wochenende und an und kurz vor Feiertagen sollte man eigentlich die Straßen meiden. Jeder kippt sich die Rübe voll. Da sieht man dann eben die Männer mit den Bierpullen am Straßenrand.... Hossa. Anyway: Ich bin gut angekommen - erst in Umdloti und dann in Camperdown. Knapp drei Wochen haben wir im Haus von Neils Bruder gewohnt - mit Hund :-) Auf mein Drängen musste Neil sich ...

... entfernt im Inland ist Inanda Dam. Riesig und anscheinend ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel für alle mit großen Bakkies und großen Kanus und Booten und Jet-Skies. Sehen und Gesehen werden zählt hier. An diesem Wochenende war auch noch ein Kanu-Rennen. Ich weiß nicht, wie viele Autos da waren - 300? Jedenfalls war es voll. Schrecklich voll! Es war alles vertreten - Wochenend-Camper, Tagesausfl ...

South Africa is really... white. Durban is dangerous at night and there
is a huge mall. They have blackouts every day for two hours at two in
the afternoon, and even the malls shut down.

... real rock climbing equipment (or much experience in it). When we got back down we were reliably informed that it was a pretty bad storm that hit (thanks) and we were wise to abandon. Leaving early the next morning we got back on the Baz Bus and headed off towards Durban where we were due to stay the night. This included a journey through the magical Trans-Chai, a wild area of South Africa with some of the most amazing scenary I have seen. It was an amazing bus journey ...

... best trip ever. I spent Monday round Durban beach area (o yes, it was 25 degrees :) with the other people staying at the backpackers, yesterday we went around the touristy areas and I bought some souvenirs that don't fit in my bag! for dinner we went to the revolving restaurant which gives amazing views of the skyline of Durban at night and I thought I was very drunk until I realised that the room is supposed to spin haha. My trip definately got better...

... Africa and it was an awesome sight to see the surfers out there catching right-handed waves just in front of our hostel. We wish we could have stayed there for more than one night. After Jeffery's Bay, we backtracked a bit to do something very special. We went to a private game park that allowed you to pat lion cubs. We arrived and saw the zebras, wildebeest, big lions and three tigers that had been removed from Cape Town Zoo. The highlight was seeing the three really cute 9 week ...
