I can't believe it's already April. In a few hours, I will be hopping on a plane to Durban to begin my "fall break" - I'll be exploring the East Coast of the country and getting my advanced SCUBA certification in Sodwana Bay. It's one of the best dive sites in the world, with pristine coral reefs, warm waters, great visibility, and tons of marine life. Right now is supposed to be a good time for viewing whale sharks, so I'm really hoping that I catch a glimpse of one at some point! It's also the end of turtle hatching season, so I'm going to try to do a nighttime turtle walk where volunteers help guide baby turtles to the ocean.
This past week I've just been frantically writing papers, booking my hostel reservations, and preparing for the break ahead. I just turned in a 12 page paper on South African property rights during the democratic transition, and I'm definitely ready for a vacation.
The weather forecast on the Indian Ocean side of the country for the upcoming week:
Highs between 77 and 80 degrees and sunny everyday, with water temps around 75.
