On Sunday we all set out inland, with the intention of visiting our nearest Farmers’ Market, at Shongweni. How is it, then, that a sea scene was seen?
What happened was that we found a jam at the Market of extremely gooey consistency, but not at all sweet.
It was a traffic one.
We promptly overshot deliberately, turned back, and headed for Wilson’s Wharf in Durban instead. These were all views from where we munched lunch.
Then an aerial display was kindly arranged in our honour. There were several flypasts and some good aerobatics. Particularly impressive is the ability of these flyers to ditch – and then come up and fly again!

Excellent choice to choose the seaside in stead 😉

Of course, going from the seaside to the seaside – or bayside – didn’t give much of a change!

Not a typical Farmers’ Market at all, was it? 🙂

Gorgeous meanderings, Col. You can’t really go wrong, which ever way you drive. So I gather that no Christmas shopping was done? 🙂

Sounds like the holidays have started in earnest with that traffic jam!
The “action” shots of the gulls are superb.

I still wonder what caused such attraction up there.
Not bad for a phone camera, which is what I am reduced to!

It was a good move – that traffic was intent on getting nowhere.
