This is beachwear....southern style ...in winters (8-10 degrees)....the waters of the milky Indian ocean were chilly no doubt! The restaurant at the end of the pier is a popular one for drinks and sea food.
Aloe vera in blossom! South Africa is famous for these and I was happy to recall that these hardy plants which seem to thrive in my beloved sister 's houses in such vibrant splendour!
Cultural performance at Ushaka ...all hail King Shaka!
Ushaka is located at one end of the golden mile and doubles up as beach, water sports, aquarium, mini gift and curio village where you can see and hear the sights of the proud and turbulent history of South Africa. It is quite safe and friendly set up. I met a lady selling MTR masalas and Cardamom tea in her store (she promised us it was Indian style and made us eat it with a samosa - delicious!). Also ran into a gentleman selling curios but he was from Aamchi Mumbai and setting up business in Durbz!
Beware all ye who enter....This part of the Ushaka set up is like Dilli Haat in Delhi or Swabhoomi in Kolkata. Curios are a tad over priced here so make sure you get a decent price.
The merry wart hog family smartly turned out for a leisurely stroll.
In Africa, music can never be far .....these soulful musicians held us mesmerized with their catchy music, infectious energy and lively performance.
