Cruises to Durban

We cruised into Durban on the MSC Sinfonia cruise ship on the 4th Feb 2011 (the return leg of our Durban - Portuguese Island cruise). I woke up early and watched the sunrise from the top-deck.

As we entered Durban Harbour, we got a clear view of Durban Sea Rescue. One of the joys of these cruises is meeting up with so many people, and chatting to them. Whilst standing on the deck, I had an interesting discussion with somebody about his experiences as a medic in the navy.

Here's a little tugboat which met up to guide us to our parking bay:

In Durban Harbour, there's a wealth of fascinating ships - here's a photo of one of Beluga Projects' ships.

A perfect view of the part of Durban Harbour we disembarked in:
