Digging Durban
... day. We first drove a little out of the village to drop off some food that would be cooked for us for lunch and then went for a bit of walk up the hill to get a view of the village and river and learned a little bit of the history of the area and how it was first settled by the Zulu’s. Then we got back in the van and drove back into the village and then continued our walk. Our first visit was to the tuck shop where staples are sold to the villagers, as ...
The Moses Mabhida Football Stadium day
We checked back into Happy Hippo as we didn't like Tekweni, they only had an En-suite room available but it was still cheaper also.

You basically jump from one side of the stadium and ...

Nutella, fridges, frogs and adorable children!
... nutella on, yum. John is our new survival expert so he has been nicknamed "bear grills" (probably spelt that wrong), Simon is frog boy after yesterdays antics, I am chocolate girl as it is what I talk about most (although I am giving up chocolate for a fortnight excl icecream, milo & nutella...) and we're yet to nickname ...
