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.

Ah, indeed. I'm sure the Cloud Appreciation Society would love a visit to Chintsa. The skies felt endless.

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!

Gosh, very sad, and the security situation doesn't seem to have improved too much. The police are still a joke. I feel for those poor South African people living in it, but they all seemed so happy and stalwart through it all. Seriously admirable people.

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!

Indeed, I was also thinking that while in South Africa. A guide in Kruger said the stripes confuse and disorientate the large cats if they're being chased.

Adventure Alex has arrived
I'm glad you enjoyed the zip line experience. We tried that in Costa Rica. You can bungee jump when you get to New Zealand (where it all started). We've heard the Garden Route drive is spectacular. I'm sure you will check out the other bridge if you get back to this part of the world. We always enjoy our off season travel. you saw some amazing animals. Giraffes are my favorite. I would enjoy elephant park. MJ

Adventure Alex
Oh gosh, Adventure Alex would definitely stop at the bungee jumping, lol! Zip-lining seemed peaceful and graceful, I'd be up for doing more of that. I'm excited to visit New Zealand at some point. Giraffes are truly amazing creatures, I really got to appreciate this in the game reserve here.
