I'm not sure if it's the sleep deprivation, from being on call last night, but this morning found me just so in love with Durban. I got me a bike from the Virgin Active Classic gym at Moses Mabhida stadium, and set off along the promenade heading for Ushaka Marine World.
The sky was a perfect blue and the sea matched, almost. It took me a few hundred metres to figure out how to brake with the pedals and handle the "old school" style handle bars.
And then I could take in the view:
- 3 policemen on horses, clippity clop (no horse dung in sight, thank goodness)
- a boy in bright yellow takkies with wheels attached at the back (attached by himself or a member of his family)
- an old man hobbling along with the help of a carved walking stick
- a skinny boy with just the front of his t-shirt tucked in, so we could all see his white belt and big shiny buckle
And the sea, the blue blue sea. On the ride back, Moses Mabhida stadium on the horizon.
I think I'm in love with Durban!
