Sawubona!

That means hi in Zulu. it's the only Zulu word I've managed to remember so far.

We finally made it to Durban! My plane landed in Johannesburg, which is located sort of towards the middle of South Africa. The jet lag was pretty bad, but I think I'm finally getting used to South African time.

We stayed in Jo'burg for a few days and did some touristy stuff- random museums and history stuff- and other orientation things, and then made the 8 hour drive to Durban yesterday. The drive takes you through a good part of eastern South Africa, which is beautiful. I saw a zebra. We're staying in a backpacker hostel right now, but I'll move in with my host family tomorrow. Apparently they speak enough english, but converse primarily in Zulu, which could be a problem. We started zulu lessons, but so far, I'm pretty bad at it.

I think that's about everything exciting that's happened so far...

love,
Kara
