Doing Durban
You always do a nice mix of the expected and unexpected on your trips. A glimpse at all the major tourists stops but including sites that impact the people living in the local. The Haare Krishna Temple is a perfect example. I enjoyed reading and it was an education for me. Hopefully, you will have time to visit the Monterey Aquarium when you are in California. I would like to see that shipwreck. It sounds like you sampled some good foods on this journey.

Bumpy, pot-holed roads always make us a bit nervous when we rent cars. Those sealed roads are so appreciated. It is great to have hope for the young minds of the future. Your accommodations sound perfect and I'm glad you enjoyed the owner. I think we would enjoy exploring the wild coast. I like rugged scenery. I am glad you were able to navigate the animal on the roads. It is a shame many people miss this part of Africa. Travel on.

Durban
Ah, the bunny chow that we never sampled. Disappointing to read that the security situation might have improved somewhat, but that no go areas are still prevalent. We recall receiving much advice in Durban, which basically ruled out visiting interesting places ... and were glad to have heeded that advice for themost part. Durban was the scene of our 2nd backpacker hostel break in when we returned from the Battlefields to drop of a hire car, although the Police seemed more interested in whether the security had been over zealous in their response!

Addo National Park
Great wildlife photos.

Crazy Zebras
Zebras make me laugh because they look so crazy. How did this happen? It makes me want to buy some zebra print pajamas!

Living the dream my friend.
