Durban

Durban
With the largest Indian population outside the sub-continent, there is a positive multi-cultural vibe to this somewhat glitzy urban city space.

However, apart from checking out the curry houses, and catching up with Steve the Fishbreeder my stop here is brief.

Based at Nomads’ Backpackers, it is comfy and friendly, if a little expensive at ZAR120 for a dorm bed. It is located at 70 Essenwood Road, Berea, close to the Musgrave Centre. There is an excellent Mugg and Bean Coffee House that offers an excellent Rocky Road coffee for a much coffee-starved Aubrey containing an espresso shot, hazelnut and chocolate sauce, whipped cream and marshmallows for ZAR24. For curry deprivation, check out Little India restaurant just behind the shopping mall. They boast an excellent Tandoori oven and their chiken tikka cooked to perfection.
