Durban

We arrived in Durban this afternoon from Pretoria. Despite the season being winter, it was quite warm. From the airport we checked into our accomodation, a bed and breakfast called the D'urban elephant. It is an old house on a hill overlooking the city. The decor in the house has an Oriental theme. There is a pretty garden in the front yard and a pool at the back. In the evening we went to the beach which was a beehive of activity due to the Durban beach festival. There is a large Indian population in Durban and we decided to sample the local fare by having dinner at an Indian restaurant. Bunny Chow was our starter at dinner. A bunny chow is a loaf of bread dug out to leave a cavity which is then filled with a curry, either meat or vegetable. There is a movie of the same title that Tristan, Terill and Rob watched.
