Durban Road Trip
 Off we went in our little hire car
collected from the airport. We found the main road a
good straight one.
 The countryside was much greener than we had
expected.
 Our first stop was a little group of
units – one being for Trevor to find out about the batteries he had to replace
in Madagascar (they were under warranty and many emails followed), today a face
to face. Kimi and I spotted a tree full of weaver bird
nests.
   Such busy, happy
chaps to watch – it is the boys who do the building......
 Trevor satisfied that progress can be
achieved, we headed toward Durban seeing the ‘Burbs
.
 Traffic
thickened but nothing to growl about.
  Next stop was at Ullman Sails where we found a busy sail
loft in full swing.
 Out came Trevor and Kimi’s poorly mizzen.
  Pegged out, taped
down.
  Suggestions, discussions and quote – happy all around. Locally the wait would be three weeks
before the pegged out, taped down phase. This will be repaired at the weekend
and delivered Tuesday. Great Result.
 Loved watching a clew forming under
very capable hands.
  I watched as ladies cleaned and polished a new sail and I drooled a
little at the ‘available bits’ shelf.
 Our trusty little
steed.
 A short distance away The Pavilion Mall, we could have chosen bigger shopping centre
but this one has the Mac repair place – enter Beez Neez needs. We
trotted in and I saw the Pandora store, yes, I know I’m spoilt rotten, I came
away with ladies busily cleaning sea-going crud from my bracelet and a shiny new
lion to add to my ‘Travel Bangle’. We hit the Mac shop where Bear exposed his
swollen IPhone battery. It has to be sent to Johannesburg and hopefully its
return will coincide with Trevor’s repeat visit to the battery place. Bear
bought me my Christmas present – a replacement for my very terminally poorly
IPod and then a further spoil with my 2020 diary and calendar. See I have been a
good girl. Mmmmm of
course..........
 We saw, we
did a bucket between us and yes, it touched the spot. Back to girls after a good
day out.
ALL IN ALL A SUCCESSFUL DAY
OUT
230 MILE DRIVE BUT LOTS NOW BEING
