This morning we were up and ready to go to the beach at 10:00. After yogurt and granola for breakfast we piled into Big Red and headed back to Suncoast. We found chairs right away at by 10:30 we were bathing beauties all in a row! I finished the Nora Roberts book that I was reading and I started the other book that I just bought at the market last weekend. The sun was much hotter today because it wasn’t quite as windy as it was yesterday. Christy, Leslie, and I made our way through the burning sand down to the ocean. The water was warm compared to PE and we cooled down and went back to our spots in the sun. We stayed out until 2:30 and went in to buy ice cream (caramel crunch and chocolate walnut). We decided to search for the market on Florida Street, but we had no such luck. We did take a nice detour through the city and saw a pretty side to Durban with beautiful big houses and landscaping. We drove by the botanical gardens and decided to have a walk around. The gardens were beautiful and I got great pictures of some really beautiful pink and yellow flowers! There also was an orchid house that we stopped in to take pictures too. As we were walking we saw four monkeys and we tried to get close to take pictures. Christy got a little too close to one of the monkeys and they all started chasing her! Laura and I bolted and were so busy laughing at the whole situation because as she was running she kicked a flip flop at one of the monkeys and a security came and helped her get her shoe. Luckily no one got hurt or bit by the monkeys. After the gardens we came back to the Happy Hippo and I took the best shower of my life! After my shower I went out on the covered balcony to journal and read my book. I sat out on the balcony and I watched a storm come into Durban, there was so much lighting and thunder and the rain came pouring down. I don’t ever remember thunderstorms in PE, just rain, so this was my first South African storm! We met a couple from Virginia at the backpackers (the state, not the town in Minnesota) and they were both really nice. We made dinner again at the backpackers and Lee and Sarah (the people from Virginia) came back and we talked with them about their travels for quite a bit. We read our books a little bit more and got ready for bed
