Another wonderful day here in Durban!
This diary entry is filled with photographs ... as I have just realised that I have to be up at 3.15 tomorrow! Eek!
0615 and I am in the pool ... for a refreshing swim!
The sun rises over the Indian Ocean
Jim & Tim have been filming in the hotel all day ... including with the Rolls-Royce
They took a helicopter over the property



THAT cat ... !


The Lighthouse! I have never stayed in a hotel that has its own lighthouse! The Lighthouse at Umhlanga Rocks was commissioned on the 25th November 1954 and took just 4 days and 19 hours to build. It is 21 metres tall ... and the beam produces 1.6 million candle power that can be seen by ships 24 nautical miles away! There are 121 steps internally ... and I climbed them to get to the top!

This lighthouse is in use today and everyday!

views from up there!




Tim ...

Jim ...

At twilight! Lovely!

BIG day tomorrow!
