Durban is located on the east coast of South Africa and is the third largest city in the country. Our stay there was shortened due to impending bad weather, which forced us to depart a day earlier than scheduled. Also, the city has the highest murder rate in South Africa, and theft is common. We were warned to exercise caution when ashore and stay in certain areas only. For both reasons, our tour of the city was limited.

A quick hither and yon…

Our destination was the small two-story establishment at the end of the pier for a pre-dinner libation.
