Sodwana Bay is a beautiful area in Northern KwaZulu Natal near the Mozambique border. I learnt to dive there in 2002 with Andy and Yvonne, and it was a real pleasure to go back. I did loads of reminiscing and was sick on the boat again (just like 2002!). The dives were great and i saw a turtle, white tip shark (briefly), boxfish, honeycomb moray eel chasing a potato bass, aswell as amazing coral everywhere. After one of the dives a few of us went quadbiking through the forest on dirt roads. So much fun, caning it as fast as the instructor would let us. She said there were loads of snakes, hyenas and even leopards in the area...but all i saw were monkeys and a dead jackal!!
Watching the rugby was fun too, although the Saffas already think they've won the tournament so most of them went home at half-time in the England game.. I would love it if we turn them over on Saturday (although clearly i can't see it happening, and thus will be keeping my head down).
Saw my first gunshot victim last Thursday night. The poor 49 year old had multiple entry wounds and her husband had been killed in the robbery. I managed to resuscitate her and organised for her to be transported to the bigger hospital for surgery. Whilst i was waiting i Xrayed her and to my complete surprise i found she was pregnant!!! She made it to the operating table but unfortunately died post-op. I was pretty choked when i heard that as i'd put in a lot of effort at 3 in the morning.
I've tried to upload some pics but it just takes way too long... i'll post some soon though
