Down to the Hibiscus Coast

I was invited to join Sandy (my god mother), Graham (Sandy's husband), Hayley (my best friend), Jack (my god son and Hayley's son) and a friend of Hayley's down the south coast this weekend in a holiday town called Margate where they have a holiday house! I arrived there on Saturday morning to rain and grey skies! Anyway, not to waste an opportunity to relax we took a drive into the hills to scout out Hayley's wedding venue and then spent the rest of the afternoon around the braai (BBQ for the foreigners) drinking wine and tequila :) I feel asleep pretty early after working a 15 hour shift the day before!

My godson, Jack... just learning to stand on his own!

Sunday dawned and so did the grey skies! Never-the-less, we took a short walk down to the beach and trundled among the rocks and i spent a good 15 minutes watching the waves crashing on the rocks... can't think of many better sights! Later that morning the skies changed to a brighter shade of blue and we made our way to the very famous Waffle House... it's an amazing little restaurant specialising in... you guessed it... waffles, yummy!!!

After filling our tummies full of waffles, we made our way back to Durbs! It was a great weekend... just what i needed to de-stress and relax in the company of great friends. Before returning to my flat we stopped off at a family braai on the bluff which looks right over the sea, only to spend the afternoon watching whales frolicking in the sea... amazing! :)

Well that was my weekend... i have today (Monday) off as well but it's back to the grind stone tomorrow for a 6 day week!
