eMakhosini Boutique Hotel Durban

Sani bonani!<br><br>After spending few days in Maputo, walkking the streets, shopping in the local market (and eating some random, but tasty, fruits) and hanging out in the local jazz cafes we woke on Monday morning with the aim of getting to Durban. Unfortunately the red wine, whilst being essential for enjoying the jazz, put paid to this idea and it took us a few hours to crawl out and pack up the tent.<br><br>We ...

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>

... was not great, the area was not the best and neither was the hostel actually. It was in what seemed to be a block of flats and as we walked up the stairs we could hear a lot of kids screaming, a little bit like a play ground &#8211; I learnt later that it was a holiday camp as it was the school holidays.<br><br>The dorm itself was kind of standard but you should have seen the state of their so called safe ...

... again sitting on the stairs at uShaka Marine World in Durban watching the Dolphin show. These graceful creatures always seem to entertain through their displays of speed, high jumps and sometimes squeaky noises. It was also fantastic to see Gambit - the oldest Dolphin in the park and the largest bottle-nosed dolphin in captivity to perform his tricks and it was weird to think ...

... is the distrust. This pressure has uet to produce strong diamonds among the people. A strange example of the mountains these people must climb comes from the wine country. For years the (white) winery owners paid their workers in part with wine. On Friday night the workers would go home with a large jug of wine and party... dragging themselves to work on Monday morning. Thios led to a problem with alcoholism (much to the surprise ...

... type of skin cancer that moves very quickly in AIDS patients and causes unsightly, raised lesions to grow in this patient's case in her right lung, the lining of her mouth, ears, eyes, and throughout her limbs and torso. While KS is not curable, the lesions can be contained and palliatated if treatment is begun soon enough for both the AIDS and KS. Unfortunately, this young woman was no longer able to open her eyes or ...

... closing the big living room and bedroom windows at night and just leaving open the small windows in the kitchen, bathroom, and toilet room, but Thembisa told me is perfectly safe and best to keep them open at night for air. She said that her family even keeps their door open and just locks the gate at night while they're sleeping. I asked about the monkeys, but she said they only come around during the day. I'm not quite ready to sleep with my door ...

... By the time we were in the car the first massive drops were falling and the car was being buffeted by the ever strengthening wind. A car guard was helping a surfer get his surfboard into his car to stop him getting blown away with it. By the time we got to the main road towards home the rain was so hard that the visibility was just a few metres ahead with everyone driving at a snails pace, hazard lights ...

... immediately jumped out of his car and angrily pointed out that there was a queue. After much argument he finally left me go with the second man, and a few minutes later I was knocking at the gate of Tekweni Backpackers, in the posh and trendy white suburb of Morningside. I got a dorm to myself, because the place was quiet. South African winter means low season, until all the Europeans start arriving during their July/August holidays. After having a welcome cold beer I headed ...

... botal fion dearg. Bha mi a' bruidhinn ri mam airson greis air MSN agus an uairsin choinnich mi ri dithis bhraithrean a Siorrachd Iork, Damien agus Mark. Bha sinn a' cabadaich anns a' bhar airson greis mun tainig an am dhomhsa dhol dhan leabaidh. Tha mi air chois trath a-maireach a-rithist. Tha mi a' fuireach ann an seada anns an Osdail seo cuideachd - feumaidh gu bheil e fasanta ann an Afraga a Deas...
