Day 15 – Beachcombing in SA

Dolphin Holiday Resort, Ballito (South Africa)

Today we left Swaziland, to head south and back into South Africa. The border crossing was relatively painless, but time consuming as we wanted to spend our remaining Swazi money (about $6 worth) and the construction of a new border post meant we had to walk from the border back into the shopping area. On the SA side, the border officer also spent some time examining M’s license (we wonder what she was looking for?) …. but we were eventually told we could “Proceed”.

After driving some way (where K had her first stint behind the wheel of the campervan we have fondly come to know as "The Love Bug"), we ended up on the coast just north of Durban, in the resort town of Ballito – lots of timeshare apartments, large blocks of units etc. We had a great spot at the caravan park there, a short walk from the beach and shops. We strolled along the beach, hand in hand, until the waves came rushing up, at which point M quickly let go and ran off, leaving K to get her shorts all wet.
