Day 13 Durban

Don drove us down to Durban via the back roads through an area called 1000 hills - this is where a lot of Zulu live - the better off ones anyway - the land belongs to the king and they are given a plot of land and they can build on it - they are never going to own their plot - but it can be handed down through the families. 
The scenery is stunning 
Stop for a quick coffee and scones
This lady wanted to sell us some goodies 
Of course we bought.

Checked into our hotel this afternoon and went for a stroll on the prom.
Durban is the largest town in KwaZulu Natal province - about 3.5 M people living here - it's the biggest port as well. And has the largest Indian population in any city outside of India.

  1. You really are seeing some great stuff. Beautiful scenery. At 17 my dad visited South Africa in the 2nd World war. He loved the Durban area,It left a very big impression on him. I want 'maps' and where you stopped when you get back Dave. Veertrekers that you are.
