After a day of meetings on Friday, I had a Saturday to explore Durban, the second largest city in South Africa. Durban retains a colonial feel, with wide boulevards and palm trees. The city stretches along the coast of the Mozambique Channel/Indian Ocean and is home to the largest concentration of people of Indian descent outside India.
The public beachfront nestles against high-rise buildings.
All are welcome on it:
the devout,
the surfers and swimmers who brave the chilly water and dangerous current,
the artists,
the skateboarders,
and the tourists and beach strollers.
Late afternoon I headed north to my hotel near Umhlanga Rocks (about a 25-minute drive up the coast). The storm that was brewing all day was still brewing and it made for a dramatic and windy early evening walk on the beach.
Umhlanga Rocks is one place I'd like to come back to some day.
