| Celebrating my birthday with my Daddy. |
City Segway tours have become the rage; it’s a fast, effortless way of experiencing a place. Within 15 minutes, your tour guide will teach you how to use your balance to control your Segway and the do’s and don’ts of getting around. Having grown up in KwaZulu Natal, I spent many a days on North beach enjoying the sun and surf, though taking a Segway tour to Ushaka Marine made it a totally memorable event. My dad, the tour guides and I made our way along the boardwalk. I found myself nipping around, avoiding little people who were learning to use their roller blades and encountered interesting stares from afternoon walkers. I even had a chance to whizz down the pier.
It’s a cool toy and great solution for those who don’t enjoy walking long distances or are struggling with walking. Anyone can do it regardless of age. I must admit that I struggled with handing it back to the tour guides after I was done. Segway's a toy for all ages.
