Re: Durban weekend w/o a car? Posted: Sat February 23, 2008 03:30 PM UTC
if you are staying in the Musgrave area i would reccomend a car. it is the height of summer and the temperature will be in the low 30 degrees with very high humidity, its far too hot to do any serious walking. you should pay a visit to Ushaka marine world, as it has shops restaurants a waterworld, aquarium and its right on the beach, so walking along the beach is good, the ocean is warm in Durban and perfect for swimming. The botanic gardens is a good place to walk around although i find it a bit boring (plants aint my thing) you can go to movies at musgrave shopping centre and you MUST eat at spiga d'oro in Florida road, great food and atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Mitchell park is in tat area its a beautiful park with lots of caged birds and a small zoo with small animals and crocodiles, there are beautiful plants there and a restaurant/tea garden, its well worth a visit. if it does rain at this time of the year its usually only a short sharp shower with a bit of lightning, usually in the late afternoon. it doesnt normally rain for days like it does in Capetown.
