Here are some photos of my first South African trip
While it is getting colder and darker in Europe, Southern hemisphere is getting ready for the summer
uMhlanga near Durban
Visiting Umgeni River bird park in Durban
The park has many exotic birds, some of which are from other parts of the world, like this toucan from South America
Or this kookaburra from Australia
Big African Crow
There are non flying animals here too
There is a show also
What about trains? Here is one just outside Durban and it looks abandoned
Former railway
On my way to Johannesburg I can spot a train
The Spoornet Class 18E, is a South African electric locomotive. The 3 kV DC Class 6E1 electric locomotive was built for the South African Railways (SAR) by Union Carriage & Wagon (UCW) in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by the General Electric Company (GEC). Eleven series of Class 6E1 were delivered between 1969 and 1984, with a total of 960 units built. (Wikipedia)
