From the Drakensburgs, it was time for another absolutely beautiful drive! We were heading to Umzumbe which is on the coast about 1 hour below Durban. This journey was full of trying to avoid the many cows wandering accross the road, not moving out the way for anything! Absolutely crazy! Somebody needs to teach those cows a lesson. We stayed at a place called Mantis and Moon backpackers. This was another amazing place full of dogs wandering around and a cool slid...

I drove to the Drakensburs as Luke hasn't passed his test yet. I am completely fine with this as the drives are so beautiful here! The drive from Ballito was first of all boring as it was on a motorway but then when we turned off it we were stuck by the beauty of the Drakensburgs! They're so stunning! The road winds round loads of small and big hills going up and down. The backpackers is located about 20 km from the Sani pass (the only road between Lesotho and ea...

We arrived in Ballito to a backpackers full of a family going to a wedding the following day!

We didn't take cameras so they wouldn't get stolen but it was beautiful! The...

We had to wait for even more days to do the diving! This meant that we had a few more days to do something so we went to the beach and hired some bicycles and rode along the promenade. Along the way we found an amazing sushi restaurant that was half price! So lucky! We also ordered some pizzas as we had missed some of the more western foods... South africa is so different to the rest of Africa! It ha a lot more western feel to it. The roads are all paved and ther...

Our main reason for coming to Durban was so that we could learn to dive! So the day after we arrived (after spending it resting) we were ready to start! We had to walk for 40 mins to find the office then when we got there, they didn't realise it was 2 people! This was fine though, and they were all so laid back about everything. Our instructor was a 21 year old guy called Kyle. He was really great fun and introduced us to beer fines. This is if you ever do anythi...
