Richards Bay is located in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa's most African of its nine provinces. It has everything the continent is known for- beaches, wildlife, mountains, and accessible ethnic culture. Wetlands, freshwater lakes, wilderness and Zulu villages meets the sea at a virtually seamless stretch of sand that begins at the St Lucia Estuary and slips across the Mozambique border at Kosi Bay. Apart from the southern Lake St Lucia which is fairly developed in a low key fashion, the Elephant Coast is one of the most isolated regions in the country, rewarding tourist with South Africa's best snorkeling and scuba diving along the coral reefs off of Sodwana Bay
They also have many game reserves here as well. So today we went to a mall where the shuttle dropped us off. Went into a liquor store and passed on a 5 liter box of South African Wine for 74.00 S.A.R which is about 6.00usd. Can you believe that we passed on it. We still have lots under our bed. We will replenish when we get to Australia. Then we came back to the ship and walked around the water front.
We saw some monkeys little grey one with a black mask on. Liquor is so cheap here. A bucket of 5 beers is 94 S.A.R. Which is under 5.00usd. On the ship they are 8.00usd a piece plus 18 % gratuity. Tonight we are having dinner with Tricia and Steve. She is the ATW Hostess and her husband Steve is also part of the team on board. Very nice couple.
Thanks for coming along with us...
