Day 11 & 12: Lusikisiki to Margate to St. Lucia Estuary

It's amazing when you cross the river between Transkei and the Wild Coast, just after the Wild Coast Sun - the world changes. The road changes (suddenly 4 lane highway), the houses and lands change (few, if any cattle, sheep and goats on the road) and we are suddenly back in the land of the living.
Margate is lively and modern in comparison to where we've been for the last few days, but it's raining and we decide to stay at the Margate beachfront in a self catering flat, catching up on  news and rugby scores.

The mongoose showed us where to camp
Going throuhg Durban I decide that even though we have three contracts running in Durban I wont't pay a vists (Lyn's comment about being on holiday wins) and I don't feel guilty.
We walk around Durban beachfron as Lyn hasn't been there for many years and then decide to go north and maybe forego the Baviaanskloof, depending what we find.

We pull up at the KZN Parks Board Camp Site in St Lucia to signs of danger everywhere and take our first taste of the Doddle's rooftop tent - magnificent!





The Happy Camper!
