Sitting by the pool with the birds

Well it is my first day in South Africa.  I decided to take it easy and sit by the pool for most of the day.  I am now a lovely shade of red but happy and rested from the journey here.  Tomorrow I fly to Durban where I start a fantastic tour of the East Coast.  The only sight seeing I did was looking at big birds in the sky...  Every 15 minutes I found myself shaded from the sun for a few seconds.

Here's what I have learned today.  I understand why "airport" is the first word in the name of my hotel.

I can't help but wonder what the front desk of my hotel would say if I asked to fly a kite outside....  There is no sign saying I can't....  Their reaction would be a great picture don't you think?
