This week we've been living the high life on South Africa's east coast. Thanks to Dad, we've had a week at a timeshare resort in Umhlanga Rocks where we've enjoyed such luxuries as:
A refrigerator - cheese lasts more than a day
A freezer - Ice cream, nuff said
Oven - used four out of the past five nights!
High speed internet - fast enough to use our computer to call home
King-sized bed - an entire family could live here
Tennis courts - including free racquet rental
Air Conditioning - to fight the humidity
All in all, luxury compared to the tent we normally sleep in. We took a boat tour with the Natal Sharks Board this morning and watched them check all the shark nets surrounding Durban's beaches. Saw lots of dolphins, too. We also watched them dissect a great white shark that died in the nets recently. Very interesting. Chloe won a poster and some shark's teeth for paying attention to details and being more energetic than the school kids in answering questions.
It's actually been quite rainy this week (but still 24 degrees) which is nice since it's given my sun burn a chance to recover (Check out our Flickr pictures for the embarrassing photo). I'm still very suspicious of the small burned area that looks like the girl guide trefoil. I'm suspicious that Chloe may have some creative ways of spreading sunscreen on my back.
