New Year in Durban

The "gay bash" of the year is happening at The Lounge, Durban's only gay bar and club this Monday 31st December 2013.

 

Click on the link here to The Lounge website and events, or here for their Facebook group.

 

There's something happening most nights, so Durbs is the place to be... where the locals and visitors play.

 

And of course Durban View Guesthouse is busy, in fact fully booked past New Year, so whether you're on the rooftop catching a tan or in the jacuzzi or chatting around the social table or pub downstairs... this is where the action is.

Christmas holidays

Christmas is upon us and it's time for a break from work, some family fun and a guesthouse full of guests. Awesome. Today my son and his mate Dain took a drive to the nearby Kloof gorge and spent the morning sliding down slippery rocks into swirling pools and climbing mountains in the roasting heat. Amazing day with the boys!
