Friday, March 28th, 2014 – Durban, South Africa today. It was not even close to anything I expected – it was a huge city and very pleasant! The free ship's shuttle took us to a nice little mall around a courtyard which included an aquarium and lots of little restaurants.
I found a nice place to sit comfortably and check my email and Bill hired a cab to take him to the place where license plates were made. After an hour and a half he returned with 50 license plates which he put in our rolling backpack. The license plates here are the long, thin, European style so the plates stuck out the top of our backpack – he was not able to zip the backpack all the way closed.
He had spotted a KFC while he was on his license plate-buying trip so he led me through the shopping area to the restaurant. The fried chicken was perfect and the large Coke really hit the spot!
Then we walked to the front of the mall to wait for the hop-on hop-off bus along with several dozen other passengers from our ship for a tour of Durban.
While we were waiting, Bill took the camera and walked across the parking lot to take pictures of a police car and specifically, the license plates on the police car.
When he returned he nervously told me, “I should have put something over these plates that are sticking out the top of the backpack because they were spotted – I think I'm going to be questioned for having them in my possession.” (You can see them sticking out the top of his backpack in the photo.)
A moment later 2 policemen came over to the bench that was the bus stop where Bill and I were with the other passengers from our ship who were also waiting for the hop-on hop-off bus.
They asked Bill what he was doing with the license plates and he told them he had purchased them.
They told Bill, “Sir, we are going to have to take you in for questioning – you can't have these license plates.”
Bill said, “I collect license plates from all over the world. It's legal that I have them.”
One of the policemen said, “You cannot own them and you cannot take them out of the country. We are going to have to take you in for questioning.”
I don't know what possessed me or what I was thinking but I stood up and very seriously and sternly said, “I'm sorry, you cannot take him anywhere. He is my husband.”
I could tell my answer totally surprised Bill, as well as both police officers and the other passengers. Then Bill and the policemen started laughing.
Bill had set me up and he had asked the policemen to play a prank on me and tell me they were going to arrest him. I fell for it hook, line and sinker!
NOTE: I changed word "stick" to "sticking" and took the extra "f" out of officers. I think that is all the errors!
