Recovery Continues

19-June “Recovery Continues”Today my goal is to go for a walk and get some of the toxins in my legs out. A couple of us walk down to the beach. One of the girls has to catch a flight at the airport. I mention I’m going to walk down to the casino (about 3k down the beach). The other girl decides to join me.

The walk is tough but feels good. We have to stop and rest a few times, but the majority of the way my legs feel pretty good. At the casino we stop inside to look around. I’m disappointed. It has a Miami theme and looks like a typical Las Vegas casino, but there is hardly anybody there.

On the walk back we stop for a beer. Then, we continue back to the hostel. On the way back she talks to one of the guys she went surfing with earlier in the week and asks where to go out in Durban. He tells us to get a group together and he’ll take us out.

After relaxing in the hostel three of us decide to go out on the town in Durban. This will be my first night out in South Africa, so I’m very curious what it is like. We meet the other guys at a bar in uShaka. Then, walk to their apartment to get their car. You don’t want to walk at night. It is a Tuesday and the off season, so they are struggling on where to go. The first bar we go to is not open, so we go to the casino bar until something better comes to mind. Unfortunately, it wasn’t busy and the music was crap.

After a couple of hours we leave for Florida Street. I had heard this is the area to go a couple of nights ago, so I’m pretty excited. We all pile into the car and end up at a bar called Casablanca. This is much much better. The crowd was younger and the music was at least current, not necessarily good. We end up staying until 4:00. I mention that I have a bus to catch at 6:30 and we need to get back to the hostel.

I get to bed as quickly as I can.
