Hey hey...  

Just checked into our oh-so-gorgeous hotel for the evening and am having a chance to recap over the events of the day. 

Spent today visiting the Hare Krishna Temple of Understanding in Chatsworth, Durban. Originally started in the states by founders such as Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Dalai Lama - this temple is a place of "spiritual enlightenment"

We were welcomed in - shoes off, wandering around the palace marvelling at the ceilings covered in murals and gold-adorned walls. The Hare Krishna Temple, or Sri Sri Radhanath Temple is said to be the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. The visit ended with a stroll through the Mahatma Ghandi Memorial garden. 

Great place to have experienced, and amazing to feel the warmth and acceptance offered by all! Its definitely worth a visit...  ( if you can find it - as its little roads and twists and turns make it quite a challenge.. )

Would also like to extend a heart-felt "Thank-You" to the Sharks Rugby team, who took the pledge, signed the Scroll, and contributed their R1 to the cause. 

Off for now... exploring the Wild Coast tomorrow and will let you know what it has in store... !

Cheers
