An emotional rollercoaster in Durban

I still cannot decide what the number one highlight activity of my ocean pilgrimage to Durban last week was. I have contemplated that the waking up from a white villa at Estuary Hotel, near Port Edward and a walk along Silver Beach to watch the sunrise, could be the winner.

Maybe it was the sound of the gentle waves, that rhythmic whisper that came with the fresh salty air and hit me before I could even take off my shoes to feel the warm damp sand. The photographer in me enjoyed the changing hues from that soft lavender that requires me to crank up the ISO in my camera, before the burst of fiery colours as the sun rises from the ocean. I love that golden shimmering path cast by the sun along the waves. It is one of those moments that must be shared.
