No surprise I was up early again and again watch an amazing run rise, it was almost as though some one had squeezed the sun out of a tube of toothpaste one minute there was nothing and the next minute it popped on to the horizon and within minutes the day had begun.......... I wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunrise........ but there were no takers, I cannot believe I am the only morning person in a house full of night people.......so I could not get them to come with me and unfortunately it is a sad reality that the beach is just not safe for a woman to go to alone, the vagrants watch and wait for unsuspecting visitors.
Today was beach day.......... why the girls have to go through the whole "beauty" routine is beyond me........... but yes it was mirror time again............ we wanted to go to Scottburgh beach but when we arrived i think that all the visitors here from Johannesburg had the same idea........ so we headed back to our beach much quieter........
Not before stopping at the Shell Shop I just love that place there is "stuff" everywhere, little trinkets, interesting little signs, beautiful wind chimes you cannot walk without bumping into something, walking into something, and you cannot leave without buying something......... my bathroom "theme" is the sea, so we bought some seahorses and fish that we could hang the face clothes and towels on.........
We had also wanted to go to a lighthouse that is supposed to be an historical monument we could see it from the top of a hill but we could just not find the road that would take us there, I love lighthouses firstly the views are amazing and secondly there is just something romantic about them............... which probably has something to do with the fact that they were the light that brought lost lovers home in the "olden days"..............................
We ended up on a beautiful little beach on the way back..... just a few children playing in the sea but we basically had the whole beach to ourselves......... it was so peaceful that I actually fell asleep......... luckily the others were there to watch my stuff........ otherwise you can be sure it would have been gone when I woke up....... gone are the days were you could leave your belongings and go for a swim in the sea.............. which is really sad................. that we live in a world where people have come to believe that they have a right to take things that don't belong to them......................
Lunch time we went to a restaurant in Umkomaas... my parents lived there before they passed away a few years ago.......... we stopped there to say "hello" we had spread their ashes on the beach there....................... I just love the bridges over the rivers the views are amazing...................
Then back to the flat showers and hair again for the girls and off to the movies.......... Alice in Wonderland in 3 D............ a really interesting movie...............
Home.......... coffee with the neighbours and everyone in bed early............... home tomorrow I am not ready to go yet but all good things come to an end................ and that was day 3....................
Interesting. Absolutely interesting.... I enjoyed this post Karen.... I can visualise everything as you said. It was fun
ReplyDeleteI'm sad you're leaving for home too! I loved reading and "feeling" your fun time. Thanks! It is a real shame that in a place that has so much beauty and peacefulness, that people have to make it a scary or unsafe place for others. Well, I'm glad you had a good time with your daughter anyway!
