My nephew spent some time in Durban recently during his medical training. He sent me a couple of tidbits. I have no idea whether these are near or far from where we'll be. Steve

If you are there on a saturday, there was a great open air market with good european food and african crafts in the nice neighborhood where we stayed called Essenwood Market http://www.essenwoodmarket.com/contentpage.aspx?pageid=3425

Terrific south indian food (better than anywhere in the states) around the corner from where we lived in a safe enough neighborhood as well: Restaurant - Amaravathi Palki Indian Restaurant 225 Musgrave Road Berea 4001, South Africa +27 31 201 0019
