July Races in Durban

It's the fabulous July Handicap horseracing in Durban on Saturday and here Llewellyn puts the finishing touches to his and my matching waistcoasts - in the theme "A Right Royal Affair" - Kings, Queens, Knaves and Knights... should be a load of fun and a Guesthouse full of guests who are able to stroll down to the racecourse just below the house.

Hong Kong

Our French guests Claude and Jerome have been living in Hong Kong for a few years - it's stiffling hot there now so they are in Durban escaping the heat. It's pretty cool here right now but the glorious winter sun is the envy of the rest of South Africa where there is a big chill and snow on the mountains.

Durban welcome

Guesthouse co-owners Dave and Llewellyn welcome guests to the guesthouse and enjoy a birthday dinner out with Ian (top left) whilst Dewald, Peter (Cologne), Shaun, Johan and Willie enjoy drinks in the guesthouse pub.

Below Llewellyn sports his new crop-top hairstyle!!!

Busy weekend

Great to see a full guesthouse the last few days. Meet Rosche from East London (middle) with Llewellyn (left) and Cody - an American living in McKay, Queensland, Australia.

We have anther Ozzie guy in the house too.. Hugo, actually originally from South Africa, but been living in Sydney for the last 10 years, as well as some delegates from the States here for the Aids Conference in Durban. So now that the weather has cleared up a bit, hope you're all enjoying the sunshine and warm winter weather (15-20 c) Durban is famous for.
