Overnight our ship relocated to our next stop, Durban. Durban is the third largest City in South Africa, with a population of approximately 600,000.
For today we decided to take the complimentary Shuttle to the uShaka marine world. We were frequently warned that it was not recommended to walk by yourselves through the City because of the high crime rate.
After we arrived at the marine world, we were surprised by the size of it. There were numerous families with small children enjoying their Saturday morning. It was a combination of small stores , restaurants, aquariums and a theme park complete with ziplines, pirate ships and a flowing river for floating around on tubes. After following the corridor we ended up on the beach called the golden Mile. The beach was crowded with swimmers and surfers. After visiting an ATM, we ended up with a huge pack of rands for 100 dollars. Everything in the stores here is very cheap compared with our home country. For example 2 large lunches and drinks for $20. After lunch we spent another hour in the complex , before we boarded the shuttle back to the ship.
Overall we were happy with how the day went. We had visited this City 2 years ago and did an extensive City tour at that time.
Cheers
