Being that we are in the southern hemisphere we are headed into fall rather than spring. Hence the break between quarters is Fall Break, not spring break. Our original plan for the week long break was to join the other scholars on a ten day trip through Botswana and eventually to Victoria Falls. However, nothing ever goes as planned and our plans changed the morning Chris's computer decided it wasn't going to wake up and took his almost competed research proposal with it. We decided to stay in Joburg to try and fix the computer and to give Chris the option of rewriting the proposal if need be. Fortunately after a short stay at the computer hospital the logic board is fixed and all of the information was recovered.
After the stress of a hectic week of computer repairs and proposal writing we decided to go to Durban for a relaxing weekend on the beach. Being that this was a last minute decision we were unable to find a backpackers hostel with any vacancies so we ended up paying a bit more and staying at the Blue Waters right on the beachfront. Our room had a beautiful view of the Indian Ocean and we will post a video of the view shortly. The trip was quite short so we really only saw the beach and enjoyed the ocean, but we will definitely be headed back to Durban in the spring.
