Durban (Its Urban with more attitude)
Just got home from Durban a couple of hours ago. We had a great trip and enjoyed getting out of here for a few days.
Melissa and I stayed at a really cute hostel in a low key part of the city called Morningside. We greatly enjoyed much warmer weather (its tropical because of the Indian Ocean) and safety. Although its not as safe as NYC, we were able to walk around a lot, and even some places at night. Freedom from taxis at last! We had plenty of adventures including exploring the Muti market (where traditional healers, sangomas, buy the stuff for their medicines, which includes various whole, dried animals..), receiving a brief tour of the city from a completely blind man we met on the bus (and for rachel and joh: his golden retreiver seeing eye dog) and meeting the ever intriguing Brent Andrews..long story...which involved a free trip in a limo and a harmless dinner at really good Italian rest. owned by a friend. We think he may be a secret agent...but keep it on the DL..
Well, the countdown is on, only a week left and so much to do...
See you all soon!
well, most of you.
speaking of which, Em, it sound like you are doing great. Cant wait to hear more stories.
Miss you all like Woah.
