A bit of tranquility

I went for an epic run down the beach today all the way to the northern head where I could watch the surfers ripping it up. I also saw this massive fish leap from the water past the rocks. These things I like to wake up to!

Celia & I went for a swim later that morning then took some pretty good surf pics before we had to head down south again.

What an awesome day of weather we had and when we finally pitched our at Booti-Booti National Park just a bit past Forsters, the sky had an inviting braai colour to it. Not being one to turn down an invitation, we stopped off to get some meat and I got a new pair of 'thongs' - Australian flip-flops, next door at the same time.

We had a great BBQ and I went down to the beach afterwards to watch some guys fishing and to drink the last remaining XXXX.

This has been the most beautiful campsite we have stayed in so far. Perched on the back of a 7 mile beach and flanked by forest covered cliffs, you cannot ask for much more (no dolphins this time). Well maybe I'd ask for the drizzle to go away that started up again.

Boykie,
if you ever come back to lovely South Africa, you can listen again to Frankie, Queen,Beach Boys and of course Cliff Richard as well as Uncle Elvis.
Looks like you two are still enjoying the trip so from both of us have a great time.

Tschuess,
Mami und Papa

I hope you enjoyed your birthday in New Zealand. We were at Ingwe Lodge but we thought of you and I had a drink on your health. We are glad to be home - it is very exhausting driving in a jeep for four hours in the morning and about three hours in the evening. There is time for nothing else. The visitors were stuffed. Love and kisses from Mommy
