Hello from Durban (or as near as we could get...),
We're sitting in a cafe in Hillcrest, eating muffins and drinking coke. The muffins are enormous, and came with cheese and jam, but it's okay because i had a chocolate chip one! Everyone's pretty shattered really, we've been on two planes, and then a couple of cars. But we're here safe and sound, and settled into the accomodation. The views of the valley of a thousand hills are stunning, and we met some lovely people staying here too.
We're going into Durban tomorrow morning, and doing various things there. We're meeting a few of Kat's friends and going round with them. Alex has got some great shots and we've taken a lot of photos already.
The flights themselves were okay. The one from Heathrow was very long, although we did wake up rather often!
I'm trying to go in open-minded and not let any previous thoughts or views from others affect my view of it. Yet, what people say is true, even just driving around the contast between rich and poor is marked and evident.
All the best,
Daniel
