My birthday (63rd!) – so many sms’s and phone calls. They really made my day. The day started off clear but the mist rolled in off the sea and by the time Dave, Doggy and I started our walk along the beach from near the Kariega River mouth to the Bushmansriver Mouth, you could hardly see the sea. Everyone says that this is highly unusual – due to the very cold water conditions being experienced at the moment.
It was however a lovely walk and Dave regaled us with stories about his childhood which we had heard before, but which now came alive as we saw where each incident had occurred.
Birthday dinner at Homewood Restaurant |
After an early lunch – cake and tea provided by Ester – I went back to the campsite and Dog and Dave went fishing. First pumping kafoef/sandprawns and then standing waist deep in the icy cold water. However, Doggy wasn’t too successful with only a couple of undersized grunter, but Dave managed to catch 5 of which he was able to keep 2. He obviously was more used to the local conditions.
The four of us went to the Homewood Restaurant for dinner to celebrate my birthday. An excellent meal and a very nice evening.
