Durban…

Durban has been cool. It’s a scruffy place, but that’s not necessarily a criticism. It handles its scruffiness well. It’s part of its character.

We’ve seen giraffes, zebras, a steam train, a host of exotic birds, dolphins and several (or more) water slides.

One thing we haven’t seen is any reasonable way of uploading photos to Flickr, and as we move on, there seems even less chance of that being sorted in our Wild Coast home for the next few days.
I know this will hurt you, dear readers, but not bringing a laptop along was very much part of the idea of this whole trip.

Entering Tumblr Mode II

As the year comes to an end and the holiday season kicks off in South Africa, so 6000 miles… will be cutting down (mostly) on the verbiage for a short while. Family time, sunny beaches and braai’ing will take precedence over blogging for a couple of weeks.

That doesn’t mean that you should wander off though. And thus, as some sort of retainer, I’ll continue to post each day on here, just to keep things ticking over and to make those in the freezing North jealous. There will just be fewer words and more pictures. Like a Tumblr, but better. Think of it as going back to your childhood and learning to read again.
