Drakensberg and Durban





After Hluhluwe we drove to the Drakensberg area to enjoy the views of the majestic mountains there. But the weather had other plans and covered the peaks in thick rainy clouds. Actually, we didn’t care so much, it was nice to relax for once, eat good food and play carcassone.

After two days of rest we continued to Durban, where we stayed in a simple but funky hotel called the Bordello. Even better was there bar/restaurant Bean Bag Bohemia, where an interesting and mixed crowd knocked down good yet dirt-cheap cocktails and feasted on excellent dim sum.

We also enjoyed visiting the huge aquarium in Durban, partly built inside of what looks like a ship-wreck.

Our last evening together we had a brilliant Indian dinner at the Indian Connection Restaurant. After that Femke flew home to Amsterdam and I flew down to the Wilderness area for some paragliding.
