Blue Waters Hotel Durban

... 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 ...

Here 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 est une jolie ville meme si je garde un mauvais souvenir car c est la premiere fois que je me fais agresser au couteau pour etre devalise et ceci en plein jour dans une rue bonde de monde...<br><br>Donc pas de photo de l afrique du sud ni du lesotho ni du swasiland. Les photos reprendront avec le nouvel appareil (le moins cher que j ai trouve) a partir de Tofo au mozambique.<br><br>J etais parti a umkomass dans les environs de durban pour faire de la plongee.

Here are some things I have been doing in the past few weeks: -Visited a special needs school and got to see their heritage day festival -Increased the size of my South African family. My mama's husband is home on a 3 week leave from work- his work is something with African wildlife in which he travels all over to various parks and reserves. He is really warm and friendly, and although he literally sits and watches TV all day I enjoy ...

We spent the rest of our time in Durban meeting up with friends and family, a bit of shopping, coffeeshops, and just generally loafing around. On one of the days we went north of Durban to Umdloti Beach for lunch. This is a really wild part of the ocean so we just walked along the edge of the water and still managed to get quite drenched! So, all in all, a bit of a strange time for me but it was really great to see my mother and sister.

... about not getting pushed into coral if you were at that depth. The ride back to shore was another fun one again up and over the waves and swells. The Germans opted to not do another dive that day and I figured I didn't have anything left in my stomach to feed the fish with, so no point in me going out snorkeling again so we went back to our accommodation. It was such a ****** day. It rained all day. There was a beautiful beach only 10 mins ...

... now.<br> I've got a bruise on my face now though, as when entering the water from the side of the boat somebody went a bit too late and as I was resurfacing, they were entering the water and I got hit in the face by their tank &#8211; ouch! Hopefully it'll clear up pretty quick, but I wasn't impressed. At least it's not quite a black eye!<br> After I had finished diving I got a lift to Port Shepstone, which is where I am now. I came to see the Oribi Gorge, which ...

... Her younger brothers happily show them off as she continues to cast her fishing line out to sea. The wind carries the scent of salty ocean. The air feels moist as droplets of spray leave no surface untouched. The sound of the water crashing is thunderous. Durban's big waves are well-known to surfers and, today, they do not disappoint. Further down the pier, men and women are wearing colourful waterproof windbreakers to stay dry. It seems, however, their feet ...
