The Babylon boys gave us quite a show last night. Awesome abs, hot dancing and great eye candy. All of our guests got free entry tickets to the event and we all crawled back between 3am and 5am... so was quite hectic, especially as we were up and Llewellyn baked a batch of savory muffins and we did breakfasts for the boys and our guests at 9am!

40 in Russia

Although we have been back in Durban for almost a month, there is still some catch-up I have to do to show you where we went and what we did for Llewellyn's 40th birthday in Russia. Visas were difficult to come by but if you booked an excursion through the ship we could get a blanket visa for Russia. Conveniently they had a trip to the Russian gay nightclub "Central Station" in St.Petersburg the night of the 1st August so we could party away the last of his 39 years and into his 40th.

So here's some pics of Llewellyn with the hot bois in Russia where we drank vodka, and danced in the steamy heat of Central Station along with over 500 guys from the ship who did the Russian nightclub with us. And was it hot!! not only were the bois hot, but they were having a min-heatwave in St.Petersberg and no place there seems to have airconditioning, so everyone just had to take their shirts off...ha ha..mmm

Mr Gay South Africa fun at the Guesthouse

Dave and Llewellyn hosted the Central region (Kzn) finals of the Mr Gay South Africa 2010 Pageant at the Guesthouse last night and pose here with winner Jared who goes through to the national finals later this year.

The boys from Cape Town

Hats off to the boys from Cape Town who exhibited (ha ha, no pun) at the Indaba Tourism Show this week. The Show ended with a Pink Party at the Guesthouse and as you can see from the pics we all had a load of fun.

I can't remember all of the names, but will pick out some and send a link to the email addresses we collected. So if you guys are reading this and want to add a name and a link, just leave a comment or email me at durbanview@gmail.com and I will do.

So thanks Jason for organising. In the pics I see Louis, Petra, Llewellyn, Jason, 3rd pic - myself, Llewellyn and Claude, Brian and Deon, Brian and Jason at the Cape Town stand at Indaba and in the last pic friends with Jason of Tulbach. Dave
