well, drove fro pretoria to duban yesterday... didn't quite appreciate how far it is.... took the best part of 7 hours.... looking at the map, i thought it looked just as quick to go over a back road rather than the freeways, but most of it was single carriageway and very slow... but havingt said that, got to look at lots of scenery, even though it was a bit hazy... hotel in duban is nice, right on the beach... i do have a beach view, but to be frank it all reminds me of blackpool... a bit tacky and run down... we had a storm last night too, with lots of lightening and some rain, but not enough to stop the humidity here... much worse than on the highveld.... anyhow... today is just driving and walking around to get to know the place, going to a seaworld place tomorrow and driving all the way to joburg on sunday to stay at sun city for a few days...... will stop off at rorkes drift on the way... the one thing that i MUST do while i am here... flying to cape town from joburg on tuesday, then have the best part of 2 weeks in the cape to relax and tatse some wine.....

it's all lovely and relaxing, really enjoying it... this place remins me of britain in the early 80s for some reason, yet it's nice...

anyhow.. off to catch a movie.....
