We finally made it to Durban, checked into our hostel and headed straight to the beach! We went for a long walk along the beach and watched the skateboarders, surfers, and volleyball players. We also had a nice lunch on the beach with some awesome sangria. There were some great sand artists with some cool sculptures on the beach as well. That night we went and got some delicious Indian food for dinner, a Durban specialty.
The next day we tried to take the bus to some tourist sights. We did make it to city hall and the natural science museum and art museum. They were small but interesting. We then tried to visit the Victoria Street Market and a mosque nearby, however we couldn't find them and we were slightly freaked out by the area. So we got back on the bus and walked down the beach a bit more. We had another delicious dinner that night at a French restaurant.
The next morning we headed for the central Drakensberg, specifically the Champagne Valley. We checked into our hostel there and then went for a short hike before the sun set. We went to see the Sterkspruit Falls and the Nandi Falls, the same route Dan and I did.
The next day we drove back to Joburg and stayed with my friend Roz. We went out to dinner for one last taste of South Africa. The next morning we reorganized all our suitcases and then went to the Apartheid Museum. We had a good amount of time there and then headed out to the airport for our flight home. It was a great trip of South Africa, I'm so glad we got to do it!
