Day 16, Friday Aug 1st-Bryan Watanabe

Today was our last day in Richards Bay as we headed down to Durban after breakfast.
We said our goodbyes to Marjorie & Mavis as they did an awesome job taking care of us @ Zulu Lodge. Very thankful for their hospitality, friendly service & happy personalities.
We drove down to Durban and checked into The Concord to stay the night. It's a building that started out as a home for missionaries, it's a cool place. This past June, The Concord celebrated it's 100 year anniversary. After checking in we drove down to the beach to have ice cream at Milky Lane!!! Then we spent some time walking around Shaka Land to buy some gifts. We still needed more gifts so we spent a couple more hours shopping at all the curio stands! We bought a lot & it was fun bargaining. :)
Had some fun throwing the frisbee with Mitch on the beach while Melissa & Bianca took pics in the water. We decided to take a group pic of our feet in the Indian Ocean, after the pic a bigger wave came in & got us wet more than we expected. It was funny, just ask Melissa! :)
We ate dinner at Mugg & Bean inside the Suncoast casino and then we headed back to the Concord.
It was still early so Mitch, Melissa, Bianca & I went for a walk around the town for some extra hangtime. It was a nice time talking, laughing about our experience this year & any future plans with Beacon of Hope. We definitely saw some interesting people that night. :)
It was the last night in South Africa for Mitch, Melissa & I but fortunately is was nice!
