Days 71-78: Durban, South Africa

Well.. not a great deal has happened other than Greyhounding it to Pretoria to get my Korean visa, then flying out of Johannesburg, making a quick stop (10 hours) in Abu Dhabi, UAE, then finally arriving at Incheon, South Korea. 

I saw the Japanese Gardens in Durban... met more people and ate more... got some sweet little gifts.

Day 70: Durban, South Africa: Hshlinga

We went to a game reserve where we saw a bunch of zebra, impala, nyalha, monitor lizards, elephants, warthogs, tortoises, dung beetles, and birds.  No giraffes or rhinos... but that's okay!

Took a drive north along the coast to Saint Lucia, an estuary at the Indian Ocean.  We took a little cruise and saw a ton of hippos and some crocs and monitor lizards and birds.  Pretty cool!

Day 68: Durban, South Africa: Brandan's B-Day

Went to a church 21st b-day party.  The MC made it known that I traveled across the world for it.  L and I lit the candles on the cake for Brandan.  I'm a hard-working white man, unlike the others in SA (not my words).  

Day 67: Durban, South Africa: Lions

We went to a Lion reserve where we played w/some elephants, cows, antelope (?), zebra, and lions!  There was Howick Falls... And we went to the Valley of 1000 Hills, which had a lot of lovely scenery.

Day 63: Durban, South Africa: Stadium

Took a cable car over the arch of Durban's big, new stadium.  Pretty awesome!  Nice view...  Oh, and I ate a bunny.  It's a bread bowl full of curry.  Oh, and we got massages.  Hah!

Hung out w/L's gramma.
