You're going to cherish this video when you miss home. This video brought me so much joy, I just drove this exact route in April after my Step fathers funeral coming from the south coast and stopping over for the night. I miss home. Not to mention the drivers and pedestrians doing what they're supposed to do, the green lushness. People using indicators and safe spaces when at the robot. This is my favorite video 😂 my fave road is coming down from gateway all the way down to the Pearls, with that ocean view, the ships I feel joy and a skip in my heart every time.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Lol, I’m sure we’re going to be watching our own videos when we start missing home 😅 I know…coming down towards the Pearls is one of the best views 😍

[@llewellynlombard7428]

I used to drive that road many times coming from Pmburg.Its so lovely to see it has not changed. I am a DURBAN BOY or BEACH BOY. I am very surprised that the ANC government did not change KINGMEADS name. Cloudy weather so Durban, the difference between Thailand is the vichels on the road. It is mad house of motor bikes. Crossing the bridge on the Umgeni river at the Blue Lagoon made my heart jump. I used to go and do fishing there. As you proceed towards Beechwood it is still the same, wow! Another great spot for fishing is Virginia beach behind the airport. On the left hand side many years ago there were no houses, just bush. Thanks guy for the trip down memory lane, gee that was beautiful seeing all my known places again.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Thanks for watching 😀 Not much has changed here. Glad you could see some of your old fishing spots 😅 Thailand roads are quite hectic 😂

[@llewellynlombard7428]

@@BeingBedingfield Yes, it does bring back wonderful memories of the best days gone by, reminiscing on the past does not always have the same results, though. Thanks again for your lovely contribution, may the good be your guiding light in the future.

Great vid. I used to watch you religiously, before you left SA.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aw, thanks so much 😊

[@hughgardner2309]

Hello I've been watching your videos. Brings back happy memories, I was down there in the early 90s. I remember going to the London Town Pub and a bar called Shundters. Looks like they aren't there anymore?

[@BeingBedingfield]

Hi 👋 Thanks for your comment 😁 those pubs don’t sound familiar to us 🤔 but glad you have great Durban memories 😌

[@rugratmark]

Thank you so much for this! I often used to do this drive. I don’t miss it at all, but it was good to see some of my old route to work in Umhlanga! Now I can show some of my new friends what driving was like in parts of Durban 😁

[@BeingBedingfield]

Awesome 😊 that’s quite a drive to get to work. I used to drive the M4 everyday from Durban to Ballito 🙈

[@rehanasoogreem118]

Beautiful drive. Looks so nice an clean.love the music.👋👋

Thanks Rob!

[@robertcarr4172]

Drive the M4 everyday. Live in Westbrook and work In lalucia.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Aww, we miss living in Westbrook!

[@fordcorsair]

Nicer way is to come off at La Lucia and drive into Umhlanga via Ridge Road!

[@angcam42]

I live off Berea and work in umhlanga so this is some of my route 😁👏❤️

[@BeingBedingfield]

That’s awesome! I used to live in Innes Road 😊

[@lindenhardy9021]

Make as many video memories before you leave because you will miss South Africa when you are gone. I have been living in Cambodia for 7 years and miss my country.

[@BeingBedingfield]

That’s the plan! We’re vlogging as much as possible in our last 10 days 🥹

[@myshepspud1]

What's Cambodia like? I have such an adventurous but lonely life in Zululand. Seems I'll go over to east Asia to eventually come back.

[@kalliecarelse4671]

Now I miss my daughter, we travel a lot on the M4 when we visit.

[@BeingBedingfield]

Awww 🥹 hope you get to see your daughter soon x

[@elmaricarelse9147]

Miss you too dad!

A stop off at Virginia Airport would've been great, maybe worth a visit before you head to NZ.

[@BeingBedingfield]

We won’t have time 🥺😭

[@BeingBedingfield]

We will always love Durban 🥰 our weather is just the best!

[@nextgenza1649]

Our Beautiful city .needs more love tho Infrastructure getting old

[@brettlinn3063]

I literally almost had an accident on this road back in 2006 on my way to oyster keys in umshlanga. I picked up two friends at the airport, I think it was the old Durban international back then and on route back the roads were very wet from a thunderstorm and I took a slip way, lead into umslanga can't remember as I was on holiday there, and my car skidded when I tried to stop by the stop street. I think I was driving too fast.......

[@BeingBedingfield]

Oh my goodness!!! Glad everything turned out ok though! There are many accidents on the M4 unfortunately

[@betchaanbetjane7045]

One thing you won’t miss in NZ are the taxi’s

[@BeingBedingfield]

Please vlog the Seabelle Restaurant in Tongaat before you leave!

We actually filmed this on our way to somewhere else, and didn’t really plan on posting this. Would be great if you could film some of the other routes and post it, people that have moved away from Durban are really enjoying seeing some of there old routes from back home 🤗
