06 Sep 05 : Durban

It is common knowledge that I have a conviction about Durban so there is only that much enthusiasm I can contain for doing a write-up about it. Asking me to go to Durban is like giving me a death sentence. There's only a few reasons why anyone can ever in their remote life love Durban -

If one loves chaos;
If one loves the tropical humid weather;
If one loves the adrenalin pumping sensation of "I'm going to die" whenever they are driving. Promise ya, the Durbanites are hectic and rude drivers.
If one loves living in constant security worry;
If one loves pushing red buttons.

I will only go there for 3 reasons -

Work. Not given a choice there.

When the mummy and the daddy, uncles and aunties (ok.... friends as well.... just for you guys) have travelled thousands of miles to visit SA;

GOLF. I must say this.... for as much as I Durban but damn does it have one of the nicest golf courses around - The Durban Country Club.

So yeah, if anyone is dying to read up on the not-so-little-India and busiest port of South Africa, go visit the Durban Tourism Website.

BUT! What I am dying to show you guys is the photos of the accomodation we stayed at. Oohh Ooohhh OOOohhhhh.... very nice! If ever anyone visits Durban, this is a MUST-STAY place! Who cares that the owner's gay with 2 cute schnauzers! Fact of life : Gay people do have pristine taste in interior decor. This place is..... *dreamy eyes*

Tip : When visiting South Africa, it is highly recommended that you should choose guesthouses as accomodations rather than hotels. The latter is overpriced and no where close to the service and atmosphere of a guesthouse. The 'stars' do matter, I think.....

By the way, am I the only one struggling to upload photos? It is taking forever to upload the damn photos! The world is beautiful.... pray for patience... pray for patience....
