Dwarskersbos: Rest Day

Sometimes it seems like the universe is conspiring against you but other times the universe smiles upon you and today was the latter. We woke up to the sound of heavy rain outside but couldn’t be bothered because we were lying snugly in a warm bed. We’re not riding anywhere today. Will probably just sit around, drink and eat whatever comes our way.

With this goal in mind, we only emerge around mid-morning and join Ronel for a walk on the beach. The rain from earlier did not last long but the clouds and chill in the air lingers a bit longer.

Later we join Ronel and Gerhard for a trip to Velddrif where we do a bit of shopping and get lunch.

This dude sells some interesting stuff. From Dassiepis to Witvoema to fix all your ailments.

Herbs, roots and some other stuff to keep the doctor away.

Laaiplek, Velddrif

Bokkoms

Great Portuguese cuisine at Guilda’s on Bokkom street

Before we enjoyed mussels I had to fix my pants which were busy falling apart.

I can still get another trip out of these pants.

Tomorrow will be a short day. We will stay over in Vanputtensvlei just outside Lamberstbay and the weather prediction is for morning showers.
