Die Roete van die Cloetes

At Ushaka Marine World in Durban Kwazulu Natal surprised me. It really captured my heart and for the moment I think it is the best province in South Africa! Three things really stood out for us: The Beaches KZN beaches are great - even when it's windy. The weather is great - and when it is winter everywhere else - KZN seems to be at its best! We had a great time at all the beaches we went to; Ramsgate, Uvongo, Umzumbe, Mtunzini, Durban, St Lucia... they all felt safe, were clean and almost all of them had a lifegaurd or two on duty.  Ramsgate beach The Mountains The Drakensberg Mountains are possibly South Africa's most famous mountain range.

Dit is waar Shaka se kraal was.  Ongelukkig was die groot swaar hekke na die terrein toe en die beeste wat daar rond wei kon ons nie sê hoe mens inkom nie. Net toe Pieter begin lus voel om aan te beweeg toe sien ek 2 selfoon nommers teen die hek. Ek het dit eers geignoreer want dit het gelyk soos daai plakkate oral in Jhb opgeplak wat muthi verkoop aan mens vir allerhande persoonlike probleme. Maar om mnr Cloete te keer ...
