We enjoyed our few days in Salt Rock. The B and B was indeed very lovely but become a bit Norman Bates as the days progressed. When we arrived we were met by Ernest and Nathan, who we just assumed were a couple, albeit a couple with a large age gap, however a mysterious mother was constantly mentioned but never seen. A story about a slipped dic ensued and how mother was unable to leave her room but needed constant looking after ....by the end of our stay we were worried about using the shower and kept looking out for shady figures at the upper windows and stray blonde wigs....now to mention it that small dog ....
Anyway there were a couple of disappointments during our few days, firstly the weather was awful and any hopes I had of topping up my tan on the beach were literally washed away by a day of torrential rain. Secondly, the snake park had closed down, despite websites and brochures telling us the opposite it was infact demolished in 2008....Richard took this very well, especially considering this was for him the main reason for visiting Durban...still we had a fantastic meal for his birthday - he had ostritch steak and we had fun looking round the Indian Quarter and eating a Bunny Chow!!
In Joberg now. Picking up the bus for Swaziland in the morning. Not sure how long we-ll stay but we have got loads if ideas for the next stage of our adventure.
