Woke to another beautiful day in the Drakensburg and managed to blag a game of golf at the Champagne Sports Resort. It was the 35th best course in South Africa and was absolute quality and only 300 rand including club hire. The fairways were lush the greens beautifully manicured. With the Drakensburg Mountains for a back drop the setting was idyllic, unfortunately our golf was not always up to the same standards.

I managed a couple of good shots and in the end won our skins game quite convincingly, which doesn't say much for my opponents.

We returned to Uhmlanga Rocks and handed back the hire car in which we had racked up 1700 km's in 5 days.

In the afternoon we went to the Gateway Shopping Centre which is a massive centre full of designer outlets. No cheaper than the UK though.

In the evening we went to Porkys for a meal. We then went to sample the delights of Uhmlanga by night. The cottonfields is an Irish pub but was full of old expat blokes so we went on to Coyotes which is a night club cum pool hall. Very bizarre and a bit of a dump, but the atmosphere and people were good. Met a few Americans as well who I know have as contacts for when I reach the States. Another 3am finish though.
