After a decent breakfast we were already off on the road again travelling to Durban.
Taking a slight detour that gave us though more time in the nature reserve we saw more animals including FINALLY some giraffes! Incredible to see such tall animals walking around in this sometimes rather steep area.

| How many giraffes can you spot? |
First stop then was at a lodge with its own reserve where we were shown some (average) Zulu dance and introduced to Zulu culture.
I was not sure what to think of it. There was some interesting information but the dancer were lodge staff and they clearly left the impression being bored and it all felt like they had not much fun at all.
The night before at the camp the staff at the restaurant performed some dancing as well and that was a lot more entertaining. Oh well...
The food (it was said typical Zulu food though I had my doubts about some stuff) though we were served for lunch was very good and the view on a covered terrace over the private reserve was amazing!
During the last leg of today's journey it started to rain and it was still raining when we arrived in Durban. It temporarily stopped later so went for a walk along the beach with another lady.
I was not sure about the city - typical tourist place I suppose, especially when it is summer with the beaches etc. but not my cup of tea at all.
What I really did not like that as a tourist you are told to stay in the hotel once dark and that you should not walk around it being too dangerous.
You may be able to go somewhere, a restaurant or so, by taxi but the idea of getting one for like a 900 metres journey just feels so ridiculous.
So after a yummy dinner in one of the hotel restaurants I spent the rest of the evening in my hotel room people spotting and just enjoying the view over the sea while life passed by my window....
