The Story of Richard Finch - The Orphan who came in from the cold...

--:--

Richard Finch is a very interesting man. I met him during one of my trips to Durban and found that he had such a rich and interesting story, that anyone staying in his guest house would find it a privilage to listen to him and enjoy his anecdotes about growing up in England and of course ending up in South Africa. His guest house,, Ekhaya Ballito, is just a wonderful, warm and hospitable place to stay and should be your home from home when visiting that area.
