Durban!!

So everyone... are you enjoying the travelling tips about South Africa? Today I'm back with a excellent option for those whom want to stay in a car farther.

As a good and resilient Brazilian, I kept my ass on the car, seeking for more adventure, on the way to Durban. The trip takes a such long time, however each hour in the car worth it. During the way, you can appreciate the landscapes changing into a different and curious Africa – Kwazulu-Natal, the Zulu’s land.

Durban is a huge city and owns a very particularly beautiful cost. Although Durban is not as beautiful as Cape Town is, the city has its own attractive. In Durban you will find the biggest Indian colony in world, which gives you an impression of being in another country.

Duban’s people are faster and busier than Capetonians; the traffic is a big mess, however the city brings you a nice atmosphere. The culinary is hot and has strong flavors which is a strong influence from the Indian culture. In my opinion, what is the best over there is the weather, which is always warm and comfortable, even on winter time.

My tips for “places-to-visit” is: 

Go to visit the famous Moses Mabhida Stadium which was built to host some of the 2010 World Cup’s games. Once there, take the sky car through the viewpoint right on its top… from there you can have a nice view to the city. The skycar costs only R55.

Leaving the Stadium go to Casino which disposes you a rich sort of entertainment options. In the Casino, you may spend your time shopping, cinema, having a good meal or even playing  with the machines. From Casino you can go walking to the beach where you can also find some free markets and people in everywhere.

Another good tip is to visit uShaka Marine World, where you may spend an entire day enjoying your time, since they have plenty of amusement options for you. Over uShaka Marine, you may have a funny time doing shark diving or even swimming with dolphins. 

What I found more interesting in Durban is the beautiful beaches and its warm water…. So you may enjoy some time for swimming on the ocean, if you are up to.

Another curious aspect I got from Durban is the people; they are completely different from Capetonians, but not less cozy. Furthermore the biggest difference between both people are the accent; the english spoken in Durban has an easier accentn (actually reminded me a bit of british accent) comparing to capetonians. I think they owe their british accent to the fact they are literated in english only. So, the languange experience over Durban is quite particular, because you can get english better!

The nightlife in Durban is quite calm so don’t expect too much from it. The tip is to enjoy a good dinner with friends at Keys on Florida Restaurant, or any other restaurant at Key West Street.

So, I hope you guys have enjoyed my tips from Durban. Whether you have time or money just go there... you won't regret!

See you later...
