Touchdown Durban

Hooray I am officially on holiday as of the 4th August until the 15th August 2009.

My plan
Spend time soaking up the sun in Durban and take it easy and meet up with some Twitter folks from Durban.

The Flight
This has been the longest flight to Durban via Port Elizabeth lasting just under 3 hours. I have lost hearing in my right ear due to the change in altitude. This ear popping sensation lasted for 20 minutes of the flight when we were descending altitude and preparing to land in Durban.

Jail or Bail

This is picture taken while I was in Court.
I was a witness in a Housebreaking/theft case.

Gatesville

This is a scene out of a frenetic Saturday morning shopping session.

In this shot, is Hazel Road a busy road that connects Gatesville; the Business hub to Rylands; the residential area. It's 10:00am I have done my early morning jog in Mouille Point by 9am and I witnessing the steady influx of Saturday shoppers. Gatesville is a business place where the following can be bought:

1. Vegetables
2. Saturday night Gatsby Treats
3. Spices
4. Elite Groceries
5. Eastern Wear
6. Car Audio fitted by Soundmatch
7. Car Wash
   
8. Islamic Books and Dvd's

It gets crazy by 12:00pm, so if you need to, get there early and experience a quaint shopping trip.

Too Legit to quit!

I have been reducing the amount of cigarettes I smoke for the past two weeks in the vain hope of quitting smoking all together.

Well last night I smoked my last Camel filter and I had a long dialogue with this cigarette about how this habit was not adding value to my welfare, my relationships and my health.
So today is Day 1 without nicotine, I have been quite busy at the office that kept my mind occupied.

Lets see how far I go with my quest to be a non-smoker.
Wish me luck.

White Lightning

Cape Town awoke this morning to the sound of thunder and the sight of lightning.

Neotel laying cables in Cape Town CBD

I captured these pictures while walking down Long Street.

Workers were seen laying cables, breaking up tarmac and then as seen in the pictures below asphalting the walkways and pavements.
This is a post about the proposed layout.
