This post is for the #wednesdaywalk challenge and the #makemesmile challenge collaboration. This collaboration initially took place once a month, but due to its popularity,

In today's post, I'll share some photos of our walk this past weekend. I'll also share some photos from a previous walk, but of the same area.
The reason for sharing some photos from a previous walk too is that it seems to be my turn now to have the flu...lol. So, I tried to limit actively walking over longer distances by focusing on smaller areas.
But I do have a few photos of the surrounding area where my focus was for this weekend.
But enough of that...let's get to the point.
Our previous walk started early in the morning on the beach at the Durban Point Waterfront.
From there, we wanted to visit Wilson's Wharf. On our way back to the car, we passed behind uShaka Marine World, through their loading area.
As I looked ahead, a docked ship in the harbor looked like another building.
From there we left for Wilson's Wharf, where I parked the car and we took a walk towards the Port Natal Maritime Museum.
Just below the docking area of Wilson's Wharf, I found a space where we could enter to get some more photos.
It gave me a nice view of the harbor and I took this shot of a cargo ship on the other side of the harbor.
Zooming in on the same ship...and some guys fishing from their boat in the harbor.
Looking to my right, you can see that I was just below the docking area in Wilson's Wharf.
Now, let's get to the walk of this past weekend. As mentioned, it was also in the same area, Wilson's Wharf. But this time we went to the Port Natal Maritime Museum and parked the car there (of which I plan to share more in my post on Friday).
As we got out of the car, we saw this train maneuvering up and down behind us.
I don't know what cargo it was carrying (or maybe what it was still about to load), as I see all is closed up now and you cannot see the cargo anymore.
But I did get a friendly wave from the train driver...👍
I think they might have been busy preparing to load vehicles, as a huge vehicle carrier was docked in the harbor just below the area where we were.
I took the next photo of the vehicle carrier from inside the museum area.
For the next photo, I walked up to the top end of the ramp (visible behind the propellor), giving access to go onto the deck of the boat in the foreground, from where I took the next photo of the same carrier, looking out over the deck of the J.R. MORE.
In the photo below, is the J.R. MORE, the boat that was in the foreground in the two photos above.
An old tug boat, ULUNDI, is also on display at the museum.
I'll share more photos and detail of the museum in my post on Friday.
After our visit to the museum, we decided to head back home.
From the museum, you have to go back to Wilson's Wharf to get to the main entrance to get back on the main road.
Leaving the museum, between the museum and Wilson's Wharf, you have to cross a bridge from where you also have a nice view of the harbor.
While there was no other traffic at the time, I brought the car to a standstill and handed the camera to my wife to get some more photos (on her side of the car).

I'll end this post with the last photo, showing many yachts docked in the lower end of Wilson's Wharf, with some cargo ships also visible in the harbor in the background.
And that's it for today folks.
Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!
