    Durban has a wide variety of entertainment for the whole family. Entertainment ranges from movies, nightclubs and a variety of sporting activities. Treat your family to a day out, either in Durban or in the Valley of 1000 Hills. Take them to the cinema, ten pin bowling, or see a theatre production ... It's great fun for the whole family!

    RAINBOW CITY
  • Tip Rating:
  • By PEE-WEE on April 4, 2004
  • Durban Page by PEE-WEE
  • Once one of the holiday capitals of South Africa, Durban lies between the sunny beaches of the South Coast and the game parks of Zululand.
    Host to the Mr Price surf competition and home of your archetypal blond surfer, itıs a real rainbow city where myriad cultures meet.
    Visit Grey Street and the Indian Market for a taste of Indian culture far removed from Big Mac territory. Here street hawkers sell anything from fake Rolex watches to diced carrots. Grab a bunny chow, a few chilli bites and a packet of slap chips.

    Biltong hanging up to dry out
    by ratherton
    Biltong is basically dried meat and is something I remember from my childhood in Zimbabwe. Back then, we only had beef but now there is a whole range of different meats and flavours - beef, game, ostrich, kudu, chilli.

    Personally, I still prefer beef but it's worth trying the other types to see which you like the most. If you get hooked on it, it is possible to buy your own biltong maker.

    You gotta try a "Bunny Chow"

    A Bunny Chow from Durban
    by GerryFM
    For a cheap, yet filling "meal" you have got to try a "Bunny Chow" when in Durban.

    Probably not everybodies cup of tea, but we love it! Perfect tucker after a heavy night on the town.

    There is a little dodgy looking take-out in the Overport area, known as Johnnys, that makes the best "Bunnies" in town.

    Basically a Bunny Chow, is a choice of curry (lamb, beef. mutton, beans, prawn, vegetable .... you name it) in a quarter , half or whole loaf of bread.

    All they do is slice a loaf of bread in half, scoop out the bread, then put the choice of curry into the part that has jsut been scooped out. After this they put the scooped out bits on top again, which absorbs all the juices.

    All that remains is to eat it. These are really delicious!

    THE DRAKENSBERG

  • Spending time in the Drakensberg is like plugging into a throbbing Soul Rejuvenator. Itıs uplifting, energising, relaxing and exactly what everyone needs more of. Unless of course youıre spiritually dead. And even then, itıll do you good.
