Tigers

According to the locals there are Tigers in the nearby Nkandla Forest. Mmm I'm not convinced but i'm also not going to argue with the Zulus as what do i know about their habitat. On Saturday night we drove back through the Forest as i'd been at a course in Pietermaritzburg during the day. We were in a hospital 4x4 truck with a driver and he didn't hold back on the dirt roads! If there are Tigers there we were going far too fast to see one..
At one point it was pitch black, the sky was full of beautiful stars and we were caning it at 100kph, then this lady started running towards the vehicle. The driver managed to crank on the brakes before we hit her. I think she may have been drunk or psychotic but the driver didn't let us get out to check on her and drove off at full speed!
To be fair i was getting stuck in to my 3rd beer in the car after a long day at the course and having just heard the rugby result against the Aussies!! So i wouldn't have been much use anyway. As we all know - drinking on a long journey is never a great idea as the bladder starts to cry out for relief. My colleague wanted to see where Jacob Zuma (Vice President of South Africa) lived as we passed his residence on the way back. I promptly used the opportunity to relieve myself, thus pissing outside the home of the second most important man in SA. Can you imagine doing that at no.11 Downing Street?!!
I'm off to Sodwana to go diving this weekend, hoping to see a few whale sharks and turtles. Can't wait! Been a bit boring at work this week as it has been hosing it down with rain and so very few patients have come, so i'm looking forward to escaping to the beach. Laterz
