Easter weekend on the farm

27 December 2008

Today was another awesome day. The wind was still and it wasn't too hot - just right. We went to the beach at about 09h00, the kids enjoyed it so much! After beach we went to a nearby Spur and had lunch with Liezel. We really enjoyed it, we were there from about 12h30, to 15h30. When we left there, we went sightseeing a bit, almost made Camp's Bay but the traffic was so bad that we decided to turn around. Here are some photos of the day:

This was an interesting sight - a kitty cat walking on the beach with her owners! I have never seen this before!

We checked out of the hotel today. Our new address until Wednesday morning, is Dolphin Beach (Bloubergstrand). When Jaclynn saw the place, she got really excited. This would be our 4th year in a row staying at the Dolphin Beach resort. There is a Protea hotel, but we stay in the apartments next to the hotel. It is really lovely and excellent value for money. It is about a minute walk from the beach, no roads to cross, undercover parking, close to malls and shops and take-away places - anyone's dream holiday place.

We unpacked and later the afternoon tried to go to the beach, but the wind was terrible. Kayli could not stay upright. We decided to give up on the beach and go for a short drive. Thereafter we relaxed a bit and had braaivleis for dinner.

Christmas Day was perfect! The sun was shining, the wind was still, we could just feel the vibe in the air. We got up a bit late (again), so we decided not to go downstairs for breakfast, but rather order room service. What a surprise when at first no one answered the phone, and then when we finally got through, we were told they were too busy for room service. So Jacques had to make a quick trip to the MacDonalds.

We then took a drive around and saw this awesome view:



After our drive, it was time for our Christmas lunch at the hotel. The food was awesome! We really enjoyed lunch, and after lunch Jacques and I took turns to take a nice long afternoon nap. When we finally got up at about 18h00, we saw that the weather was awesome and we had to go to the beach. Jaclynn was ecstatic!

The beach was packed with people just taking a stroll, or playing games, swimming, etc.

Look at this interesting man:

Jaclynn really enjoyed running around and playing in the water:

Kayli still did not like the feel of the sand on her hands:

The mountains. On the left where all the people are standing, was a tidal pool, where a few smallish sharks got stuck. People where trying to rescue them and everyone was interested:

A perfect ending to a perfect day:
