We decided that we would take a bus tour round the town - we we walked down to the start point there was a sign saying the tours were cancelled for the week - hey ho
So we took a taxi up to Victoria Market - it's full of Indian/Chinese stores and bustling with people. The cab driver said that we should categorically not walk anywhere day or night - only use taxis - this was because of the street gangs of children that steal and rob from tourists and anyone else for that matter. I figured this chap was not working for the Durban Tourist Board and when he suggested that we should use his services for the rest of the day I thought it'll probably be cheaper to be robbed by the street children - needless to say we declined his kind offer and walked around the city for the rest of the day. At no time did we feel uncomfortable - it's a shame that some people like to scare the bejesus out of you.
We spent a bit of time down on the beach and had a lovely lunch with the Indian Ocean as the backdrop
