My new BLOG - Who Needs a Gym

Well as everyone knows on this blog by now, I am an avid cyclist. I love cycling, but I am also a fitness enthusiast and I love to encourage people to workout, eat right, exercise and just generally to start moving to get fitter and healthier. To this end I have started a new online project call "Who Needs a Gym" at http://www.whoneedsagym.com. The project is aimed at detailing workouts and things I do outside of the gym to stay fit and healthy, and of course one of those things is cycling. So anyway, hope whoever does read this blog can support this project. Thanks.

The Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban

Our latest travelog to Durban in 2013 shows our trip to the Moses Mabhida stadium. The last time we were in Durban in 2010 the stadium wasn't finished so it was quite nice to be able to go see the stadium and enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view from the viewing deck at the top of the stadium. To get to the viewing deck there are a long flight of stairs or, alternatively, a sky train that takes you to the deck that is more than 100m above the ground. The day we went on to the viewing deck was a spectacular summers day in Durban: sunny and hot. Of course, at the top of the stadium the wind was blowing quite strongly. which in the absence of shade, kept us cool. We would both recommend this to any tourist visiting Durban. It is a worthwhile thing to do and is close to the city center.

Bunny Chow in Durban, Cafe India

Our latest travelog to Durban in 2013 shows what a truly delicious bunny chow really looks like. 2013 saw us back in Durban after three years and, of course, I had to go and find the most delicious bunny chow available. My dad knew of place (Cafe India) in Sea View (a suburb of Durban) that had won a few Bunny Chow awards so I decided to head out there to sample their quarter-mutton bunny chow - and it was awesome. The great thing about it was it cost R45.00, which is incredibly cheap compared to food in other parts of the world (especially for the quantity and the quality you are getting). As you will see, the owner Devon is a really friendly guy and takes pride in his work and this pride is reflected in the taste and quality of the food he served to us.
