his morning, enjoy a leisurely breakfast or perhaps enjoy a stroll along Durban’s golden mile which buzzes with energy as surfers, joggers and cyclists take to this seaside playground. Then we head into the majestic Southern Drakensberg Mountains. We proceed on a visit to the 300 foot high Howick Falls, continuing through the Southern Midlands Meander Route, arriving at our hotel in the mid-afternoon. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to go fishing, hiking or even horse riding in clean mountain air.

We had a leisurely start to the day with a departure time on 10 am, so we went across the road to a very large shopping centre, I did not get to go alone, note to self just because an OK coffee in Perth does not mean they know how to make it here, Nathan found a tackle store inside the shopping centre, it was while he was in there that I attempted to drink my coffee.  Our drive took us to Howick Falls which is a waterfall of more than a 100 metre drop.  We had a look around the stalls and may have contributed to the local economy, again.  Lunch was at Ray's café which sold meat pies, Nathan had been searching for a meat pie since about day two of our trip.  We then proceeded on to the Drakensberg Mountains, stunning would be the word for the small part of the Berg we saw.  We had a small thunder and lightning storm on the way there.  Dinner was included in our stay but there was a more pressing matter to attend to.  The Springboks v Samoa was on, so we spent a bit of time watching the game, there was heads of Impala's and other South African animals on the walls, we were showing some support for the Samoan's and started to wonder if we would be mounted on the walls next to the other animal heads.  Dinner was a carver, there was no "Sensational" from Nathan.  We joined an Australian couple for dinner, Bev was from Zimbabwe before going to Australia and her and her partner Arthur was telling us about the living conditions in Zimbabwe.  From the stories they were sharing, South African's living conditions are much better than in Zimbabwe.
