Holiday in South Africa – Rorke’s Drift – 10th April 2010

The next morning, on our way to Durban, we stopped in at the battlefield of Rorke’s Drift. Fought later in the same day as the defeat at Isandlwana, this was an epic last stand where the British soldiers managed to hold the small mission station against overwhelming odds: 139 British against an estimated 4,000 Zulus.
