Michael Kaine - Zulu

We went to a place called "Rorke's Drift" in Zululand. Gavin is a military buff and apparently this is where sick and wounded British soldiers defended themselves against three thousand zulu warriors. Gavin did a tour there and it was quite interesting hearing the stories he came back with. This battle was the one in which the movie 'Zulu' with Michael Kaine was based on.

I did a twelve hour drive day that day - carnage. Two hours was on gravel to get to the field where it all happened. Our poor little hire car didn't know what hit it. We've clocked over a thousand kilometres already!
