The beach life


Monday, April 3

Went to the sand dunes by our PE house prior to heading for Plett.  Lots of sand to run up and down.  We start seeing the emails from home that school is closed due to flooding.  This raises anxiety levels in us all, because if Carman is flooding, it must be bad.  Wishing we were at home to help, but know that if we were home, we would wish we could be somewhere else. 

Dunes at Port Elizabeth
PE accommodation is probably our favorite in SA.  They have a book called Awesome South Africa by Derryn Campbell with all kinds of interesting information, both good and bad, on South Africa.  One of personal interest is that South Africa is a major medical tourist destination, with many Europeans coming here for good and cheap medical care.

Day at the beach.  Great waves and we practice our skills at boogie boarding.


Wednesday, April 5

Suppose to rain, but it is nice out and ends up being a great day at the beach again.  As we pack us and head back to the apartment, the winds pick up and we end up with some rain.  Perfect timing.  If we had to live in South Africa, based on our travels, Plettenburg Bay would be a preferred place.  We are staying in a great little community, but as with the disparity in living conditions, there is a shanty town right across the highway from us.
