I�m posting this blog from the WFP offices in the industrial sector of Durban. We flew out here yesterday morning, crossing paths with Nelson Mandella and his massive motorcade at the Johannesburg airport (he was returning from the World Cup conference in Switzerland).
Anyway, we made it to the Durban port about an hour after our plane landed, just as they were starting to unload the ship that I had come to film. We got a full tour of the vessel, including an introduction to the captain. The ship had come in from New York, so he had a huge stock of American soda that Justice and I descended upon - Sunkist, A&W Root Beer, Coca-Cola without all the added sugar that it has here...� they even had Frappachinos. Yeah, don�'t let me get carried away�...
After we had finished watching them unload, we cut out to our hostel (where I slept through the remainder of the day). Today I returned to film the WFP warehouse space, which I finished doing a few minutes ago. Now all that�s left to do is hit up the beaches, try some of Durban�s famous Indian food, and explore the city�s nightlife. I should be able to do all that by Wednesday, at which point we return to Jo�burg.
