Durban and more
We didn't make it to Durban... looks nice. Maybe next trip. The sand artist is interesting.

Durban
It seems to be an interesting city. There are not really tourist attractions, but people are really friendly and the indian influence makes an interesting mix. And beaches are lovely.

Serenity now
Glad you could catch up with your spiritual leader while you are enjoying South Africa.

the start of the Tugela Falls on top of the Drakensberg

This is Africa
That is so dramatic and beautiful! I don't have an issue with heights, but would have struggled with that small metal ladder for sure. Loving your trip, and definitely feeling it :)

the start of the Tugela Falls on top of the Drakensberg

Spectacular
I can handle spectacular waterfalls...but chain ladders like the ones you climbed? I've climbed them while caving but that was in pitch black where I could only see where I was going by torchlight...but in daylight...NO WAY!

Emu
The austriches prefer the wild ;-). No, we have seen quite some emus around South Afrca, also 10 years ago during our last visit. Seems they are fine together as I have oberserved that they sometimes even share the same space.

african wild cat

What a beauty.
This is a Serval, one of the wild cats of Africa. However the African wild cat is a species more like a tawny domestic cat in appearance while the Serval is distinctive and like this pic...magnificent.

Bundu - the rhino

One of our favorite animals
We really love rhinos. How great that you could actually pet it. We too would like to try that. /Ake

Bundu - the rhino

rhino
Yah, it was an amazing kuddle. The have a very intersting skin, hard, raw and somehow soft underneath. For food, "little" Bundu enjoyed the kuddle.

New Adventure
Did you like the rooibos tea? I started drinking it last year and I really love it - would love to try it in it's home country. I'm excited about your new trip, and look forward to following your adventures :)

Rooibos Tea
Oh, the Rooibos tea is a funny story. This trip is my 3rd trip to South Africa. I loved the tea already on my first trip and always took a big package back home. At home, for whatever reason (different water, different feeling, different milk) I do no appreciate it as much. It is ok, but we just drink it randomly. But in South Africa, we always have liter of it per day. They make a red cappucino out of it there. Nice milk foam and strong rooibos tea. It is amazing and there are often even vegan options! Would say, you have to try it in the home coutnry one day ;-).
