Durban, South Africa

We had the full day in Durban. It hadn't made any plans in advance. When we read the LP yesterday nothing really jumped out. Which was just as well, as I was sick in the morning and we only got going at noon.

Heather and I walked down Florida Rd in search of thin crust pizza. Sat down at ?? which had a nice patio (as did most places on the strip). Our pizza was very good. We stayed for cappuccinos and took in the scene.

Our car was looking sketchy after two weeks of driving on dirt roads to safari lodges, so we went to a car wash. It was a hand wash and full vacuum, which took six people over 30 minutes, for a grand total of $4 CAD. Everyone keeps their cars looking clean so we felt better that ours was clean now too.

On the drive back we heard what sounded like gunshots for the 2nd time today. Both times the locals flinched and ducked for cover, so I don't think it's uncommon.

Parked back in our secure lot at the hotel, and then relaxed in our room. Saw Marissa and Nancy off around 3:30pm (they only had two weeks and were headed back home).

Heather and I went to MoZamBiq for dinner, having made reservations while out for lunch. It was a hopping place, busy even at 8pm with groups of friends having dinner on a Saturday night. The shrimp was better than expected. We wanted to have an early start so just split a bottle of white.
