We have arrived in South Africa!

Deborah and her friends as we sail into port.

Our welcome from the Mercy Ships' team who had gone ahead of us to have everything ready for us.

One of two tug boats who were pushing us sideways (from port to starboard) gently to the dock.

We spent one last night on the ship and enjoyed the beautiful lights of Durban's port.

The next morning the moving vans arrived along with two buses to move 150 of us out to Appelsbosch (we also took some of our Land Rovers with us). Everyone pitched in. Each person would take a piece of luggage and carry it down the main gangway and set the luggage down in front of the van then walk down the dock to the secondary gangway come back into the ship and back to get more luggage. I was watching kids on Deck 7 while Ray was helping with the luggage.
