White water flying

April was a busy month for me as my daughter got married and we had a whirlwind few days before as we took her new American family up to the Berg to get to know them and show them this magical part of our country.

I managed to get some flying in with students and enjoyed as always the fabulous scenery our coastline offers. We did some low-level flying over the breakers north of Durban which is exhilarating as we sweep along just above them.

This photo is taken from just above my house, giving a slightly elevated view of where we are in Durban

My house overlooks the Stadium

Some more white water flying towards the Tugela River

This is one of the last pics of Durban's famous ghosthouse which was demolished shortly after this photo was taken
