Early Spring on the West Coast

We had the most beautiful sunny weather all weekend- and it's supposed to be the middle of winter! We wore shorts and tshirts and even managed to get a tan... Stopped to take pictures of these wild daisy's, on the way back to CT.

happiness is...

Seeing the flowers in bloom on the West Coast brings back such happy memories...


Citrusdal Hot Springs for the weekend

Ernst and I enjoyed the most amazing weekend away together at the Citrusdal Hot Springs- known as The Baths. The water comes out of the ground at 43 oC and is said to have healing properties. We read, slept, talked and wallowed in the warm water for 3 days- was wonderful- so relaxing.

Victorian House

We stayed in this beautiful Victorian House- which is divided into 4 self catering units.


The MacGregors

Ernst and I had Sunday lunch at The MacGregors- the small restaurant at The Baths. I had calamari strips with salad and chips and then lemon cheesecake for pudding.


Waterfall




Smokey Braai

Ernst and i decided to braai our lunch at the waterfall... after an hour of trying to burn damp wood, we returned to our accommodation to finish the -then thoroughly smoked pork sosaties- in the oven!
