Umhlanga

On our recent trip to South Africa, we were lucky enough to spend a week with my folks at Sandals, in Umhlanga (just north of Durban). We spent a bit of time on the beach, visited some wonderful restaurants, and caught up with family. Here are a couple of pic's from the week. Please note Lisa (my sister) and me in the sea at Ushaka - some great synchronised swimming!

As mentioned earlier, I went absolutely banana's for the food in South Africa. I had some great steaks, and some fantastic seafood, but probably my best meal was at a restaurant called Sugar Club, at the Beverly Hills Intercontinental in Umhlanga. It's a really posh place, with waiters in abundance and a piano player in the corner. I had teriyaki chicken livers as a starter, just for fun, and followed with an ostrich steak that was succulent perfection, cooked medium rare. The Crepe Suzette's were flamed at our table, and besides being tiny little things, they were rich and luscious.
