Winter is HOT, HOT, HOT in Durbs

It's been a busy couple of weeks in Durbs... definitely the best place to be during winter in SA with temperatures averaging around 23C!

Two weekends ago myself and da crew made the trip inland to Underberg, where we had rented an 8 bedroom house, Haycroft Lodge, complete with it's own lake, industrial kitchen and full on bar for mid-xmas!!! We indulged in a full on xmas dinner and a suffient amount of alcohol... it was an awesome weekend and great to get out of Durbs for a little while!

This last weekend was the famous Vodacom July, myself and da crew rented our site, doned our gear and packed our cooler boxes for a fabuloous day out at the races... yes, there are horses at the July! The highlight of the evening was the very yummy bunny chow... you can't beat curry in bread! :)

Today is exactly TWO years since i arrived back on the shores of South Africa... i can't believe its been so long. I never thought i'd manage to stay 'home' for this long, but i seem to do everything in 2s and with my pending trip to the states coming up, the trend looks set to continue!! It's been an eventful and challenging 2 years in which i have achieved quite a bit... travelled through Africa, almost finished my degree (btw, i passed all my exams), made some amazing friends and most importantly, i've grown as a person!

I have my visa interview at the US consulate on Wednesday... so i'll let you know how that goes, fingers crossed!
