Today a few of us traveled to Muizenberg. The weather was perfect! It was sunny and warm, but so breezy it never felt hot! We all came back sun burned!
We went to a an outdoor market and did a bit of shopping and then walked to the beach! The beach there is beautiful! I got to put my feet in the Indian Ocean!! :) The sand was soft and white. The water was loaded with surfers and children were playing soccer on the beach. Muizenberg beach has rows of these little colorful buildings that you rent. They are basically to store your things and use as changing rooms. But the cute rows of color just add so much charm to the beach.
There were all kinds of interesting little creatures. There were these little snail like things that wash up with the surf and then start to burrow in the wet sand. There were these little things that appeared to be some sort of jelly fish, but they were much smaller that what we see at home. They appeared to be clear on the top, but underneath they were blue. There were a couple areas where the little jelly creatures were washed up and it appeared as though a bunch of those snail things were all over and around it, perhaps having lunch! They were strange.
The beach was so beautiful, the water was pretty..much prettier than the Atlantic Ocean, the sand was white, the sky blue, mountains in the background. Beautiful homes on the side of the mountain overlooking the ocean....heaven! We walked the beach for a while and then hopped the train back to Rosebank. It's still so unbelievable to me that there is so much incredible beauty here in Capetown and the most unbelievable poverty, shacks, etc in the townships....A Tale of Two Cities.
This was a very much needed relaxing weekend. Tomorrow is back to the creche! I can't believe it's my last week here!
