Sand, sea and sun

What a great weekend we had in Plettenberg Bay. On our last night there we decided to have a fish barbeque on the beach. Getting to this particular deserted beach required a 20 minute walk through thick fynbos carrying drinks, firewood, food, blankets and whatnot- which was all fun and games at dusk. The return trek at midnight without torches was a test to our team skills!

Anyway, sitting around the bonfire we were discussing highlights and lowlights of the trip. While the latter were few and far between the severe drought and in the area was one of them, and the fact that we couldn't stay for another week. My highlights were seeing old friends and making new ones, the sweltering heat, a hike with the husband to a secluded beach, and a long afternoon swim in the sea.
