Durban July


My Bloomberg friend and I caught a ride with a doctor who was going to Durban for the weekend to play volleyball.  A weekend was enough time to see everything in the city, and the best part was the WARM weather compared to Klerksdorp, especially at night.  The city was packed because of a surfing competition and the famous horse race Durban July, which involves a lot of city-wide partying and costumes.  We barely managed to get a couple beds in a hostel (on the popping Florida St).

No one knows how to swim, but everyone jumps into the waves anyways.  Only a very small slice of the beach is allowed for swimming so that the lifeguards can keep up with all the floundering swimmers.
