Hi everyone!!! hope your all having fun and doing well!!
Well we've arrived in Durban for my Birthday!!!!! and St Patricks Day weekend!! woohoo!! the journey here on the Baz Bus was absolutely crazy - we were caught up in a 6 hour thunder and lightning storm - as scary as it sounds and as it was - i actually thought it was pretty funky!! the whole sky lit up with forks lightning all other the sky!! i think we got to see the best part of it, because we were driving through rural countryside, so there were no other lights for miles!!! it was like something you'd see in a movie - i loved it, it was so cool!! that is until one the lightning strikes hit off a road sign near to our bus - it sounded like gun shots - everyone ducked their heads down - it was soo funny - of course me and my inappropiate times for laughing found this absolutely hilarious - but everyone else didnt!! oops!! hehe!
When we arrived in Durban, it was pretty late at night, the roads were completely flooded!! at the first drop-off 2 couples got off and as they were taking their bags out of the trailer at the back of the bus, one of the girls fell, getting absolutely soaked, in what was like a small river flowing down the street!! hehe!! i felt so sorry for her though because she had her rucksack on at the time, and everything was bound to be soaked!!! i was starting to dread getting off the bus now, because i knew - me being me, i would probably do that as well!! hehe!! but luckily our street didnt seem so bad - although we did have to walk through water which was above our ankles - thank goodness i was wearing my flip flops!! hehe!
Anyway, for my birthday we decided to spend the day shopping - not sure if stephen enjoyed it as much as me and cat did, but we loved it!! hehe!! we went to the largest shopping mall in the Southern Hemisphere - it was so massive!!!! it even had a wave machine out the back, where people could surf or body board - it looked so cool!! stephen and cat even took me out for dinner and bought me loads of pressies!!! i was loving it!! then back at the hostel we met up with Chris and Andy - two guys we had met on the Baz Bus and in Jeffreys Bay, from Jersey, and who were now staying in our dorm!! it was so cool - we all had chocolate cake and then headed out into Durban to a few bars!! it was a really good night, although i think the first bar we were in was probably the best!!!!! Â even though it was my first time being away from home for my birthday - i still had fun - but im also looking forward to partying when i get home for it - if everone else is up for it??!!! hehe!!
St Paddy's day was just as fun - and we ended up just going to the same bars again that night - although we did try another one, which was kinda like the limelight - well the same music almost - but on a really scary level!!! the people were kinda freaky!! so yea we didnt stay there too long!! chris and andy were really lovely guys and they also came out with us that night - but they were being picked up at half 6 the next morning and ended up sleeping in, so the girl from reception had to wake them and told them the bus was sitting outside - so they literally had to jump out the window to get it - but we were on the ground floor - but it was funny at the time!!
 It was such a good weekend - Durban is a really cool city - especially for shopping!!! Im just realising how long this blog is! hehe! so il leave it there and talk to you all soon - missing you all loads
love,
rach xxx :)
