Of my very limited time in Durban, two things come to my mind; the amazing food and drink and the amount of talent.

I was there with my GF staying with her friends so hobbying was limited to less than 3 hours on 2 consecutive days when she would hit the Gateway shopping mall in Umhlanga.

Thanks to Isawal I already had some numbers to call and I bought myself a Vodacom SIM for ZAR5 plus about ZAR30 of calls.

Julia was first on my list. She also advertises on www.sextrader.co.za. I tried calling several times but always got voicemail.

I then tried a Swazi girl called Asanda. She gave me her address which turned out to be a brothel with other black girls in the Berea part of town. For ZAR340 for an hour she took me on her idea of a sex safari. The second part was with her and another girl called Jade, if I remember correctly. It was as good as going to a brothel in Romania is the closest I can describe it. The place was clean but slightly run down. Nothing like what The Ranch was like when it was open; and one can hear the grunts of the next door hobbyist.

The sex itself was pleasant and the girls are willing and will do ‘anything’. I tipped each girl ZAR100 and they were very happy with that.
The second time I went to a more upmarket venue. The private working apartment of a SA model no less, number supplied by Raj my limo driver of the night before when we all went to have steaks at The Butcher Boys. The 650g T bone is an excellent choice washed down with some Cape red whose name I wish I could remember but by the time we left The Rocks we were all in pretty ethylic states.Blame the excellent SA wines and beers.

She was definitely trophy. Not Charlize Theron who I’d give my left arm for but made from the same mould. Six feet tall, 55 kgs, Blonde and blue eyed, Afrikaner from Pietermaritzburg. Amanda told me she does 2 months in Jo’burg as a model/escort and a month’s rest on the shores of Durban. And occasionally she will see someone in Durban to help pay the rent. So,of course, I asked her why she agreed to see me and the reply was because I spoke with an English accent ( as opposed to her heavy afrikaner accent) so I must be from overseas and the limo driver Raj told her I was a real gentleman ( must be the tip I gave him the night b4).

Unfortunately as all or most trophy fucks go, it was not as enthusiastic as the Swazis or as liberated and liberating as sex with a garota.It was good and could even come close to making love to your GF but that’s not why I keep seeing working girls.

South Africa is a beautiful country and once one gets over the fear generated by too many unsavoury events as seen on tv, it is a warm and welcoming place and the response one gets from black,white, brown and other colours and races shows that it really is moving away from the dark days of apartheid. There is violence and crime and one has to be careful. I noted how my friend would wind down his car window on the highway going at 120 kph and as soon as we reached a crossing he would wind it up again and lock the doors.

But this is an issue that they must resolve. It does not take away the fact that it is a beautiful and welcoming country.

Don’t miss the safaris, the booze, the food and the shopping. And of course, the women.

This is great info, as I will be traveling to Durban in Aughust.

Rak,

Thanks for the tips. Haven't been to SA, but have heard a lot of good things about it.

However, I guess I fear doing an African girl in any country where the HIV infections are as high as I read about. Any thoughts on this issue?

Glad to read you had fun in Durbs if you ever hit Johannesburg give me a shout.It was nice to read that you enjoyed our wine, beer and food but don't tell me you went all that way and didn't try a durban curry?

A few things to add: Call the escort well in advance to book her when you want to see her, you'll get who you want then.
Umhlanga/La Lucia and The Rocks are the nicest parts of town but are very European/US styled. For local colour go to the CBD area. If you are staying at a hotel stay somewhere on The Rocks. It has pretty good nightlife as well.
I had the condom on from GO and I didn't dfk anyone.I still had fun. From what I gleaned there is little unprotected sex in the upper tier of escorts and working girls, more to fear from street girls, working men's brothels and casual encounters.Visiting escorts charge double to triple. Taxis are not cheap. From Umhlanga to Berea and back, a 30-35 minute ride altogether, was ZAR500.Don't do anything you're uncomfortable with.
Missed the curry. Will definitely have to go back maybe in 2010 for the footie although I expect prices will more than double then.Hope to meet up with other members then.

Another tip, never book in a hotel in South Beach, although in pictures it looks very nice its not where you want to stay, trust me.

Iswal,

what is a a durban curry? If it is any thing close to that African fire-water you gave me to drink I would recommend testing it on an animal first

More like four alarm Chilli. Durbn is little India great food.

BTW it goes great with fire water, you kind of wonder what will kill you first.

I enjoy a good curry, but this sounds as if it's 5 alarm quality. I can't imagine drinking the fire water along with it, you must have a cast iron stomach. I would enjoy trying it sometime.

As you are well aware you have a standing invite to visit me down here in the deep, deep South.

Dear Iswal,

Thank you for inviting me to visit your country. I need to decide if the long flight and time involved is worth the effort, so I will notify you two weeks prior to see if it would be convenient to schedule a visit. You are acutely aware of my limited attention span, thus the problems associated with long flights, etc. As a token of goodwill, please send me a photo of you standing in a Range Rover next to a herd of anything, just to prove you really do live where you claim.

Again, thank you so much for your generous offer and friendship. I look forward to going on a safari while on my visit. Please note, for safety reasons, I wish to sit in the front seat, it always makes me feel better when in unfamiliar territory. Are the animals very hungry? I may even come to understand why some animals eat their own.

The food, drink, and animals certainly leads me to hope I am more compatible than edible.

Sincerely, CFK
