Some Photos from Kwazulu-Natal (12/04/00)
Jim in the Kwazulu-Natal Province
The new salsa dancers of Duban, South Africa
Have to make this quick gang. Here are some photos of my friends in Durban, as well as Adam and Dotan, the Israelis I have hooked up with.
The first is at a "braai" \BRI\, a barbeque party at Fay and Francois' house in Durban. Can you tell that Francois is a surfer?! Anyway, after a few drinks they convinced me to give some salsa lessons and there were plenty of enthusiastic students.
The second photo is of Dotan presiding over one of his dishes. He is not a trained chef, but he just gets in the kitchen and starts going through the refrigerator and cupboards, and next thing you know you are eating some incredible 4-course meals. I never knew how good soup could taste (broccoli and mushroom).
The only drawback according to Fay is that he leaves the kitchen a complete mess. He is the only one who is allowed to commit this sin in their house.
The next photo is of Dotan, Adam, and myself near the top of Sani Pass, which is in the Drakensberg (mountainous area), right at the Lesotho border. In fact, right after we reached the pass and crossed the border, we had a drink at the "Highest Pub in Africa".
The last photo is at a waterfall in the Sani Pass. That water is flowing from melting ice! But, as usual, the Israelis jumped in first, so I had to hang tough and show that an American could handle anything they could. (Yes, ladies, Adam is available.)
We rode up to Sani pass and had a drink at the Highest Pub in Africa.
Gotta run.

P.S. Adam was able to diagnose my bike and after a little carburetor work, it looks like we're in good shape. Next stop, Mozambique.
