Soaring overhead, the main forked arch supports the lighting, seating shades and also a 25 person cablecar and two sets of stairs. Feeling energetic, we decide to climb up the (550) stairs to the top.

The Moses Mabhida Stadium
While Auckland was debating whether to upgrade Eden Park or build a new blight on the waterfront for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, South Africa was busy finishing off five brand new stadiums and five refurbished ones for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Durban now has a 70,000 seat venue for the event, which will be reduced to a more modest 54,000 after the cup has finished.
Sitting near the beach like an open shell, it looks very Santiago Calatrava, but is actually the work of the German firm Gerkan Marg and Partners.
