One full week left of Durbs

And suddenly I am thinking about my last week. Of course, today the sun came out like it was there all along. Which of course it was but...) I spent the night with my friends and my trip there yesterday, had been rather frightening due to the lashings of rain. The drive back today was completely different and even Google maps gave me a different route.

I ate some lunch and all I wanted to do was snooze the rest of the afternoon. But, the sun flared it's shining rays, luring me to the beachfront. I even squeezed into my denim shorts for the first time this season. On my way to a small beachfront near the tiny private airport, I spotted an interesting church and made a mental note to look it up.

Being a holiday weekend due to regional voting taking place tomorrow, the revelers were out in force. I squeezed my cart into a parking but I already sensed that this wouldn't be a long visit.

I am full of contractions in that I love being at the sea but hate the gritty sand. My feet are ticklish and after leaving the gentle littered sand near the ramp behind, I realised that this beach sand was thicker and stickier. The music from cars was in earshot and some family members were laughing loudly. (Shame on them - haha)

I took my pictures for future reference and decided to check out another beach.

Eventually I got my inner child message that I should just go home. Which I did after buying an ice cream. (I'm not a huge fan but today I felt like eating a Cornetto)
