A Coffee Bay, nous avons rencontre Richard qui vit a Durban et nous avait invite a passer chez lui. On l'appelle donc le jour meme en lui disant qu'on est sur la route, il nous repond que lui et ses parents nous attendront alors pour le souper. Zut! il est 18:00 et on vient de manger au Debonnair pizza. A peine arrives, on se voit proposer un verre de vin que Charles accepte volontier mais qu'Adeline refuse car elle a ete malade toute la journee suite aux abus d'alcool de la veille. Au menu: un bon braai! Charles se regale tandis qu'Adeline se contente de petits accompagnements de salade afin de menager son estomac. Les parents de Richard sont adorables, ils nous ont prepare une chambre parfaite. Ca fait du bien de dormir dans un vrai lit.
Le lendemain matin, les Horner's nous servent un delicieux petit dejeuner et nous expliquent patiemment ce qu'il faut voir a Durban et a Drakensberg.

You can vistit the Shark Board for free, and have lots of information about the 350 species of sharks, where they live, their origins, etc... For a couple of ZAR you can actually see a shark dissection!

Next morning, we headed to the Shark Board. This is a very interesting museum, and being in South African seas, you must know what's swimimg next to you ; D
From there we tried to get our camera fixed at the Pavillons shopping center, but was impossible to get it done in such a short time.
Then we reached Ansteys Backpacker, where Tony, the manager, cooks sublime dishes, Charles ate FOUR plates!! It was a competition with another Charles, a British guy...
Then had a nice rest in our tent ; D

Ushaka Water World

Was a nice place but we didn't swim or anything in there, even if it was very tempting... we just had no time for that. But it seems very fun!

Got Up around 7h30, and were wondering if we'd leave to Drakensberg or not.
In the end we chose to stay one more day and visit Ushaka Water World. It's a sort of amusement park where you can a have plenty of fun swimming in open air pools, rent diving gear and dive into the open water, or even fool around like we did, walking next to the beach, looking for souvenirs, or eat in a nice restaurant.
We ended up in the ''On Board'' restaurant, a Ship like decoration, with a HUGE aquaqrium in it, with four of the most feared Shark species in it!
Food was SUPER DELICIOUS, bill as well, but it's a treat we deserved ; D
After that, we visited the Gateway Shopping center, it's bigger than expected, you can ride an artificial wave, or climb the biggest indoor wall!! All your favorite brands will be there as well, plus restaurants of course and cinemas too.

Incredible hospitality, we only met for one day in Coffe bay, and Richard offered us a place to stay in Durban. We ate a nice Braai! Enjoyed the company of his parents, and talked until late, enjoying some good South African wines.

Nice backpacker, only a hundred meters from the beach, with a private pool, bar, and chill out area... Cooking is done by Tony, who adapts menu each day, and following guests preferences... Very nice vibe over there ; D
