The day before we docked in Durban, the girls wanted to take the shuttle to the mall and possibly a taxi to the Indian district.  I reluctantly said ok but I was not looking forward to another American style mall.  I had been on a tour of Durban before so I was thinking it might be nice to stay on the ship especially if we had rain again.

We woke to a glorious day.  Low humidity and temperature around 70 degrees.  Sun out but not with the intensity that we have come to know.  The mall was lovely and certainly not an American style mall.  Open and airy and it was called Ushaka shopping area.  It is next to an amusement park so many children were present.  Different musical and dancing groups added to our pleasure.  Prices were right  and interesting stores and since it overlooked the beach we had great scenery as well.  We thoroughly enjoyed the day and did have a nice lunch overlooking the beach.  We never did get to the Indian district.
