Vaping @ The Beach

I LOVE those! I used to live on the Natal North Coast as a school kid and ate them all the time! We used to call them Martingulas <sp> but I just did a google search and nothing came up. The common names are Natal plum, big num-num, Amatungulu! The scientific name is Carissa Macrocarpa.

I just realised I have been using the Zulu name for them and just pronouncing it slightly wrong! Amatungulu!
Oh yes, I was born in Sheppy so I grew up there and probably ate tons of wild food along the coast. My uncle said martingula. Even my cousin smiled because it was our childhood, we grew up together, picking nuts, berries and other fruits.
 
Thanks @GerharddP
That's so cool!
Must be a great vibe
:zpong:
 
Its really amazing yes. They build resturants etc along the beach front and have this festival every year to mark the start of the spring/summer. The "fire tunnel" leads to performance artists etc ranging from fire breathing to some "wierd" musicians.

That is really cool @GerharddP
Enjoy

By the way, you can change your location from "Fourways" - hehe

Love this thread!

I always had dreams of retiring to the the bushveld, having spent a lot of my young life on a farm outside White River. Security concerns (and a lack of funds:eek:!) have changed my mind. I think the coast is the best option. I always seem to breathe easier on my brief visits to Durban and surrounds. Not to mention the lovely views.

Same here. But the humidity is just too much for me

Also love this thread
Wish I could just magically transport my life to the coast ;-)
Holidays will have to do for now
