On my run today I was reflecting on the past 9 weeks and the wonderful experiences that I have been fortunate to have. A few of the usual questions I have been asked so I thought I would jot them down here.

Why Durban?

  1. Dad

  2. Durban walking tours

  3. Running at beachfront

How can I afford it?

  1. No debt

  2. Low overheads

  3. Online work

  4. Know my budget

What has been the best?

  1. See first answers (haha)

Surprises?

  1. Drivers! Fast; close; no indicators; hectic

  2. Friendliness of the people

  3. Free museums

  4. Birds

  5. Maintenance upkeep of a beach

  6. Wind, rain and overall cooler weather

  7. Everything feels close distance wise

  8. Point area development

  9. Cleanliness

  10. Hills

  11. Tunnel under the harbour mouth

  12. Beach on the other side of the harbour

  13. Revolving restaurant

Lived up to expectations?

  1. Tours

  2. Buildings and architecture (delightful)

  3. Beach running

  4. Dolphins

But overall I have only scratched the surface of the city. So much more to do, see, experience and eat.

I will be back!


P.S. just too many photos to choose my favorites from...
