Melbourne welcome

Welcoming an "old" exchange student friend from 20+ years ago - Melanie from Melbourne has been staying at the Guesthouse for a few days with Llewellyn, harking back to the days in Johannesburg so long ago...lol. A lot has changed in South Africa in the intervening years and Melanie has been fact-finding as she explores the city of Durban, mainly on foot. Melanie found Llewellyn on Facebook and decided to do some catching up..

About the town..

Llewellyn and I have been having some fun out and about the town trying the different flavours of Durban. We have also extended an invitation to other gay guys from the Gay Durban Facebook group to join us. Our second little excursion was to Moyo Restaurant and beach pub at the uShaka Marine World complex near the harbour entrance on Sunday. The fusion/Afro decorated restaurant offers African and unique flavours drawn from many cultures and is a hit with the tourists. Above is a chicken platter we shared.


Lamp shades resembling jellly-fish fit in with the marine theme of the beachfront Acquarium where the restaurant is situated.



Face-painting and blankets if the sea breeze gets cool are just some of the quaint touches the restaurant offers.

Networking to grow together

Dave has been hard at work creating a new Gay Directory South Africa on Facebook.. the online site which is taking the world by storm. The biggest challenge which is so exciting is being able to integrate our blogs with Facebook and vice verse. This creates a huge online networking opportunity and sees the gay groups, individual personalities and websites in South Africa all interlinking.
