The Gardeners visit the Gardeners!
My folks arrived in East London on Friday evening after spending one night in Oudsthoorn. We met them on the way to Yellowsands caravan park where we would spend the long weekend.
It was a good weekend on the company side and not such a good weekend on the weather side. After a couple of weeks of summer-like weather it went slightly pear-shaped with a very strong wind for 90% of the time ending in heavy rain that turned into torrenting rain. The only good part of the rain is that the wind stopped blowing!
We still managed a couple of walks on the beach and on the one morning the wind did not blow Tess and I had a swim in the sea which was great. Saturday morning we headed for breakfast at Lavender Blue which has fast become a favorite eating place of ours. We then went and did some shopping before returning to the campsite and having a nice long afternoon snooze. There was really little other option with the wind making it unbearable to be outside for long periods of time.
Sunday we took a drive out to Haga-Haga where we had lunch and then carried on up the coast to Kei Mouth and Morgans Bay. That took almost the whole day before heading back to camp for some wonderful food. Sunday night like most we played card and board games until my eyes were shutting...then we played a bit more and then crashed into bed.
Monday we slept in before slowly packing up and heading for home. My folks are leaving on Thursday morning and heading for home via Addo Elephant Park. We are spending the evenings with them. It has been a good time.
