Enjoying a long, leisurely lunch overlooking the Indian Ocean at the incredible Oyster Box Hotel in Durban was unforgettable. The chef even prepared a special Bunny Chow for us — a traditional South African–Indian curry served in a hollowed-out loaf of bread. Absolutely delicious.

My passport and an open mind.
