The road into Durban unfolds against a living coastline: the Indian Ocean presses blue and restless to the east, while the port cranes stand like mechanical coastguards. On arrival, a driver in an air-conditioned vehicle waits with a name card, the city’s salt-warmed breeze nudging luggage wheels toward the ship terminal. That first step from car to gangway is the simplest, most practical relief after travel.
