Adventures of a Rhodie!

So I spent the last week in the beautiful Durban, and the not so beautiful Maritzburg and this is how it went!

Part 1- The Ellen.

I arrive in Durbs- good flight- all on time. (Not Air Zim obviously) and off I go with one of my bestie's- lets call her Ellen! We got ready quickly- and so the night began! First up- was some chow,a must- House of Curries on Florida Road! R26 Rotti!!!! Not only that- at the same time I was enjoying the amazing taste of a good old V n' C.. Ellen prefers a stiff C n' C! We were at a bar- but this just isn't enough- it never is with me (annoys the hell out of me) so off we go with the Back Up and is Unsingle friend! (Yes they were men- NO- no luck) Sasha!!! (Thats the night club) 3 dance floors- people everywhere (Especially when you are seeing double), dance music and more drinks!
After about two dance songs I was done- I had to have hip hop- so I went to make the request- the DJ was hot and the next song was what i had requested!!!!! WOOOWWW- I had to show my appreciation somehow! I know, I know- I'll get on the stage and 'shake that ass'!! How embarrassing! And it didn't help that Ellen kept saying- dont worry- do what you want- no one knows you! (This is probably why I had no luck- ha ha). And to be honest it didn't help that my wingman invented the Ellen DeGeneres- and believes she can do it over any table top- no matter how wide or high!!!!!



It was amazing- I miss Ellen so much i could cry right now!

Part 2- Queen Mee

I now had to leave my friendies and the light side of life for a few days of work! Trapped in a factory all day and a B'n B all night! (Or Not) I stayed in the most awesome hotel in Hilton! Here's a little snap of the entrance:

I ate, I drank the most amazing red wine, and i made a phone call to Ellen- please note Ellen resides in SA- it was a 3.48 minute call! R897!!! Seriously!! I almost fainted!! Needless to say I refused to pay- all it took was one death stare (the one I give the mini busses) and it was changed to R15!!!!! Phew!!

Part 3: Fish out of Water

On the way to the airport- The Carer- kindly dropped us for a little shopping centre called Gateway- there were 4 of us- two colleagues, The Carer and myself- I had run out of money so popped into Rennies to change some- I walk out- happy as Larry that I have a few bucks to spend! They have gone- they have left me in the hugest mall EVER in the whole world (thats how big it felt). I walked around (Or run) asking if anyone I seen them- NO ONE! Its been about half an hour! I am now walking around Gateway crying like a baby- I go to security- maybe they can help!

Security: What are they wearing?
Me: Jeans (sniff sniff wail wail)
Security: What do they look like?
Me: (Through the tears) Zimbabwean.
(This went on for a while)

She was annoyed by now and called the head of security:

S: Please look for three people in jeans who look like Zimbabweans. (According to Ellen this should have been enough info because apparently you can tell a Zimbo from a mile off!)

Anyway I found The Carer about half an hour later ( I have only just met this guy)! And I shout out- What the FFFFFFFF! (Imitating how I was going to ring his neck when I got close enough)! They hadn't even realised there was a problem! Smoke break for me!!!

Anyway i think thats enough for now! Have a good weekend- and here are some options:

Friday: Cricket @ Harare Sports, Honey Bear, TJ's, Tin Roof, Axiom.
Saturday: TOUCH BOWL @ Bryden, Tin roof
Sunday: Recover! :)
