Sometimes the nights in the Transkei can be utterly unreal. If it wasn’t for the potential of big sharks swimming around in the dark water it may have been tempting to try night surfing! For anyone who wants to know, this was taken at Mdumbi. The Transkei is perfect for getting away from the madness of city life, and you can feel very far removed from ordinary stress out here. Other kinds of stress exist of course, my buddy Dirk came away from this trip with a parasite in his gut that gave him an illness similar to dysentery! Poor guy was man down for about a month – however, I did take him to Windmills in East London for a burger before he caught his plane home, that could also give you dysentery pretty easily! On an aside, we saw a knife fight between a security guard and a beggar while we waited for our food. Good times.
