Back to the Big Cities

I finally feel like i am on a holiday......  After leaving Tanzania i had a 1 night stay at the Savaro Panafric Hotel, Nairobi, Kenya, it is a 5 star luxury hotel and upon my arrival was advised my Superior room was not available, but not to worry "we have offered you a complimentary upgrade to our Ndebele Suite".  The Suite was amazing (especially after sleeping in a tent for a week).  It had a huge lounge and dining area, separate bedroom with kingsize bed, 2 bathrooms and a balcony that wrapped around the whole room.  It was a shame i was only there for one night.

Next stop Durban, a great beachside town with lots to see and do.  The main city centre has everything from the Indian Spice Markets, the Freedom of Rights mural, main stream shopping centres and a beach that stretches for miles.  The beach area was nice, there was so much to do, there were street markets, water slides, pools, jetty's and a number or cafes and restaurants.  It was easy to waste a day just walking around or relaxing in a cafe.  The whole city was ceased up for the 2010 World Cup and you can still see some specific structures still standing and showing the soccer theme.

The rest of my time in Durban has been fairly relaxed.  I have basically spent my time on the beach or at one of the 2 shopping centres close by.  Laying on the beach in 30° heats has certainly been a great was to see the afternoons in watching the locals surf and kite surf.
