Spent the last three nights in The Royal Hotel in Durban. It's very posh with an Indian theme. Nice to chill out, relax, visit the beautician and hairdressers. Also managed to do the last of our shopping along the coast, at the markets and in local shopping centres. Andrew came back in and met us, we went to Wilsons Wharf for a thai lunch and The Pavillion Shopping Centre for an African diamond... relax guys one for around the neck not Michelle's finger! Said goodbye to Andrew, he has been re...
Durban, South Africa liammichellePart of this little trip was a "safari" with the family. Fortunately I don't have too much to write about the family aspect of it, there is a reason I haven't been on a family holiday for about fifteen years. An old sentimental favourite is the Kruger Park, as the mother grew up visiting it (though it was dad's birthday, I suspect she did the planning. I know this with certainty since although it has a wonderful golf course, he didn't bring his clubs). We have started using this word back hom...
Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, South Africa thefiveyearsAnother rushed pitstop - damn that missing passport - and an overnight stay at the Royal Hotel. The drive in was a challenge - there's a squatter village just north of town, and the folks there seem to get some kind of animal thrill running across the four lane highway at night. How can I put this without sounding too racist: the road is black; the sky is black; and you are black. What makes you think that running across the road is a good idea? Anyway, having dodged the presumptive roadkill,...

... to split our journey and boarded a minibus for Swaziland, about 1/3 of the way to Durban. It was a miserable day (I think I cursed ourselves bragging about summer last time) and we had our bags getting wet in a trailer on the back - just as we were about to leave a lady near us started to shout and point to her bag. We're not exactly sure what happened but think she was accusing someone of ateling her purse ...
Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa lantfricaHere I am again with some pictures for you. I will be going to Umlazi on Wednesday to stay and will meet my Zulu friends. I cant wait to see my friend Precious who I met when she was 13 and now she is 18. Having a very good time, although the weather is very weird, really hot for days, then it goes cold.<br>
Durban, South Africa dith31... to sell their wares – I've discovered Paul's poor ability to say 'no' so here we bought a little beaded elephant keyring, course I wanted to bargain but thought it best not to.<br> <br><br> By now we were experiencing major internet withdrawals so thought we'd try and find a internet cafe so we headed towards Durban central. We weren't here very long – after walking the streets for about 5minutes and not ...
Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa mbsteve... enjoyable hotel with the added bonus that the prices are reasonable, the service is good and the view is to die for. This time around I had booked at the timeshare resort The Palace (located on North Beach) and had the same great views and a most enjoyable stay.
Durban, South Africa pjveLitet om jobbet Efter att forsta dagen ha traffat professorn och klinikchefen Dr Gopalan och gjort upp en preliminar plan, har jag borjat med att ga bredvid pa operation. Tre veckor pa operationsavdelningen for allmankirurgi, ortopedi, gyn (ej obstetrik, den disciplinen har en EGEN opavdelning!) och maxillofacial (ansikte) har varit omtumlande. Allt sker enligt samma principer som hemma. Anda ar ALLT sa annorlunda! Det beror delvis pa ...
Durban, South Africa helenavirgin... maize, plus bags, plus anything else they're taking. The taxis then hurtle to thir destination with no cause for concern either over lane markings, traffic lights or road surfaces/hard shoulders! We got to Sani pass backpackers in one piece and it was lovely comfortable accomodation. A day's hike the next day was spectacular with a stunning gorge descent and plenty of time for swimmming in the water holes and by the waterfalls. Lauren loved it because it was a contouring walk ...
Sani Pass, South Africa kwant... a pour arriver au marché indien (en bordure d'une zone un peu limite du point de vue sécurité), et on fait quelques achats d'artisanat africain à des vendeurs indiens. Tiens, j'avais oublié que c'était rigolo de négocier. Et on s'en tire pour des prix très corrects (enfin c'est ce qu'on aime penser en sortant de ces trucs là). Ensuite, retraversée de tout le centre-ville, pour aller sur le ...
