DAY 2: Tour of Durban Beachfront


      Exploring Durban Beachfront on this 80 degree short sleeves and shorts weather day was amazing. The tour was lead by Ashoka, a young Indian guy. His youth, personality, and intelligence kept me on  my toes the whole time, even though I was sitting in a bus with 12 other people, but you know what I mean.

      Ashoka started the tour by greeting the group with "Sawubona". Then he lead us to a bus. Here's how the rest of the tour went.
