The afternoon after we arrived (2 Jan) we went to a spot between Umlaas Road and Camperdown in KZN, but after a bit more than 90 minutes there still was no train in sight and the light was starting to fade, so we decided to leave...
The next day was spent walking through Durban, and on Sunday (4 Jan) we took the morning trip on the Umgeni Steam Railway from Kloof to Inchanga and back. In charge this day was Class 19D No. 2685 "Wesley" (Borsig 14736/1938).
