Tropicana Durban

... cramped spaces and bags on laps, as well as a welcome glut of snack and toilet stops.<br><br>So we are now in Durban in another lovely guest house - where we plan to take in the sights, eat bunny chow (hollowed out loaves of bread filled with stew) and drink several martinis in the local bar's happy hour. Oh, and we are also picking up a car (before the martinis!) which we can't wait for!<br><br>A&amp;Lx<br><br><br>

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>

... to provide services (we had policemen who wanted money to look after the coach while we walked around) and a lot of hassle. Tourism hasn't taken off since the civil war some years ago, so white faces were a bit of a novelty. But a place with a lot of potential.<br> Some of the problem was the time of year, as we were delayed a month and had to go in June, middle of winter, so it was cold, wet and most of the limited activities closed.<br> We moved ...

... driver's seat which did not prove to be as difficult as I expected. Within the first two hours we got a flat tire which we were able to change in a safe location (the middle of no where) since Freestate is just huge fields with the occasional farm house and one robot (stoplight) town. Then a little further along the way somehwere else amidst the fields we stopped for a girl and her mother (?) desparetly flagging for help with ther broken (?) VW bug ...

I didn't have much time to spend in Durban, the place where my working career began, amongst other things. I always manage to relate economies back to it, since I spent a lot of time visiting companies, government departments and educational institutions in those years. The main problem I have now is that it seems things have changed quite rapidly back home. When it comes to beers I still think in terms of my student days, largely because it was a vital part of my ...

... are much wider than the ones on the kitchen windows. Clearly, they were after my bananas sitting on the kitchen counter. :-) I went outside and took a few pictures of them as the one female and her baby were sitting on the roof right above my flat. Thank goodness they didn't come in Sunday or yesterday when I was napping or they would have had a free for all in my kitchen. Speaking of animals, my neighbour, Bruce, has ...

... fa grepp om vilka resurser som finns och se panoramat av skador och sjukdomar. Har hittills kunnat ga till och fran jobbet (om jag gar hem fore 17, sen blir det for farligt) ca 15min enkel vag - ett maratonlopp for de flesta sydafrikaner av klass. De bor formligen i bilen. Nu nar jag har flyttat har jag inget val, min hyresvard kor mej varje morgon klocka 6.30 till sjukhuset. Jobbet ar sa likt det vi gor hemma (ser till att patienter ...

... again), went to a crocodile show and relaxed a lot by the pool! Not too tiring, felt good to sit back and relax. <br> After St Lucia we all headed down to Durban. I spent two nights there, whereas the guys are all still there so we've now separated. On the first night we went out to a local late bar. It was Sunday night, but the A1 Grand Prix had just finished in Durban, so town was pretty busy. It was nice to get out and back on the dance floor!<br> The ...

... nudge you along the top and in between reefs without any effort. We also managed to see a hammerhead shark on the way back to shore, which was a bonus. On our last night a few of us went to a bar and after a few drinks 5 of us decided we all wanted to go to Mozambique and 2 of the girls had a hire car, so we all decided "ROADTRIP". Anyways people take it easy hope alls well back in blighty, peace out A town......
