Justin and I got up early for our 6 hour drive to Durban, it is a beautiful drive, the golden highveld and then down through the green forested area.
When your going to the coast you have to play the game "who will see the sea first?" Justin slept for a good portion of the car ride and due to me already posting the unflattering photo on facebook, it won't be making an appearance here. Justin won the the SEA competition, and I'll just leave it at that no comments.
Once in Durban we went to the bird park, where we saw the weirdest and ugliest birds ever and some of the prettiest. We had dinner at a hotel on the beach front and the went for a walk along the pier and through the fan park, where there were hoards of drunk people, who were very festive.
The warm summer weather that met us in Durban was a welcome relief from the arctic cold that we left in Joburg. As Justin commented "Its the polar opposite season in such close proximity in the States you need to drive for hours to get this change of season."
For Justin's take on events, read his blog.
