This blog came about in view of the South Africa WC 2010 trip. Now I have plans to turn it into my travelogue. I figured it will be too hasslesome to maintain a blog for every trip I make. Because it was inspired by the african trip, I'm keeping the blog add as it is, at least for now. :)

Day 4 - 28th Jun


Our attempt to eat local food in Newtown, before we set off for Durban :)
The food servings were huge - the rice filled up almost the whole plate like a mountain and the chicken thigh was as big as my palm + fingers! Mashed spinach and pumpkin cubes seemed to be their popular side dishes. Sua-ku me finally tried beetroot, and it was pretty nice as its texture is similar to white radish.

Alex drove a good 6hr before we finally reached Roadlodge Durban at 930pm. Even sitting in the passenger seat was a tiring affair! Lovely scenery before it turned dark though. Buffaloes were just grazing freely along the roads, and I hardly saw any that was not grazing. Little wonder buffaloes are huge! The vast empty land that ZA has is enough to hold godknowshowmany SG.

On the way from Jo'burg to Durban

Just had Mcdonalds bf across the hotel. We had been happily eating bf from Roadlodge Randburg til we checked out ytd and was told that bf was chargeable at S$10 pp. :@ I had asked upon check-in if bf was complimentary and I was told 'Yes'. grrr!


Anyway I will only be in Durban til tmr noon before we drive back to Joburg. Going to check out the Moses Mabhida Stadium and the famed beaches of ZA later.


On a sidenote, the hotel's clear glass bathroom door doesn't really allow comforable bathing eh... and there is nowhere to put the clothes other than on the black surface.
