After talking to some of my mates.. The trip through the transkei must be avoided.. I'm still working on how ill be missioning around it.. Ill reach Jbay by the 12th of December.. So see you guys soon.. Peace ;)

Set Back..

Like every plan. It never goes as planned. Its a lot tougher than I imagined. People don't seem keen to give hikers lifts these days.. After leaving durban in the early hours I got to pennington just after 8pm.. I'm sleeping over here tonight and heading back tomorrow.. I need to plan this trip a lot better. And from what I've experienced doing this journey alone is extremely risky.
I'll keep everybody updated on my what I'm planning and when I'll start again.. Should be in a week or two.. Keep reading and thanx for the support..
Peace

Durban No Longer one of my favorite cities!!

Took the beach road to Durban. Got dropped off near the sports ground. Had 4 guys trying to sell me fake sun glasses and rubbish bags. Told them I'm not buying. So they got mad and left.. Went to the beach, waves was happening but didn't like the idea of leaving my backpack with all the blacks on the beach. So time to continue. Walked down snell(marine) parade checked out the stalls. Lots to buy for cheap. Thumbs up to souvenir's. Walked to umgeni road. "Stay away from umgeni road" its a really crappy area. Feels like your going to be mugged at any second.. found my friends shop in may street.. Wil be staying at his house tonight.. durban is fun but really don't have much to say for the city center

Balito

Arriving in balito.. This sun was cooking me alive the wind wasn't helping me much either is just turbo charging the heat in my face. Went straight to the beach. Wasn't really what I expected.. Sea was rough and barely worth paddling out.. So just sat on the beach eating a Lunch Bar and watching people enjoying summer..
