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

... with various ingredients. The young Indian man brought three different sorts of Bunny Chow - one with mixed vegetable, one with chicken, and one with bean. All three of them were scrumptiously spicy so that with every bite I took, it was as if my food bit back.

We had been advised not to venture out in Durban at night so we remained in our hotel room that whole evening - sequestered. As we finally ...

We also got a Zulu hat but Sophie wasn’t so keen to wear that. I wandered around by myself through the bustling sidewalks overflowing with vendors and pedestrians, and it seemed for the first time that we were in an African city.

... we understood why so many people said that Durban was a bit dodgy & encouraged everyone to get taxis at night & not to walk. We soon said our goodbyes & made a swift exit!

... 5 yrs (1992-2000) while they were both getting their doctorate degrees in marine biology. After leaving Port Elizabeth, Ursula actually spent a year in Annapolis and the Solomon Islands, Maryland, doing her post-doctorate work with a research lab whose name escapes me now and the Smithsonian. They returned to South Africa (Durban) in the summer of 2006. We had an interesting conversation about Jacob Zuma, a Zulu from this region of ...

... tar en gravid kvinnas liv, och det ofodda barnets med det. Sakert hade han fler barn. Mina kollegor med mer vana av grymheter tog vael hand om mig. De var minst lika upprorda, men faktum ar att man vanjer sig vid saana har grejer oxa, som annat. Jag har en kansla av att det kommer att bli en del sorg de har manaderna. Jag slutar mitt forsta kapitel har, det ar liksom svart att byta amne... Tur att helgen kom som en paus for eftertanke.

... clever for all that. They've used a sunken freighter raised to the surface as a huge aquarium for a huge variety of multi-coloured fish, sharks, rays, corals and other oceanic things from this part of South Africa. It is comprised of 5 sections, uShaka Sea World, uShaka The Phantom Ship, uShaka Wet 'n Wild, uShaka Beach and uShaka Village Walk. uShaka Marine World is the world's fifth largest aquarium with 32 tanks totaling 17,500 cubic meters of water.
