On Saturday 6 Feb, I went to Muizenberg beach with Helene and we met some people from Hillsong Church. They were having a huge beach party for people from the church. It was beautiful. The day was sunny with just a few clouds and nice and warm. The beaches here always seem to be a bit windy, but it wasn't too bad today. There were beautful hills behind us and in the distance, making the views amazing. I put on really strong sunscreen (spf 50 in most places) because I've been warned so much about the sun. I was a bit sad about that later because I didn't look like I had gotten any color on my skin. I think I'll try sometihng a bit lower next time (don't worry, though, i'll still wear sunscreen). The water was very cold and I'm told this coast is the warmer one -- well, looks like I won't be swimming much while I'm here. There were some surfers in the water, though, and with a wetsuit the water wouldnt be too bad. The waves were decent too, not too big, but definitely rideable. I may try and go back out there surfing sometime soon. There was a shark siting while we were there and the lifeguards cleared everyone out of the water. Apparently, someone had gotten killed by a shark a few weeks ago. I'll be careful, I promise!
you betterrrrrr
ReplyDeletehaha, of course i will!!! i really do want to go surfing around here some time though, i went to this cute little beach yesterday and the waves were sick... i didnt have a board or wetsuit or anything tho -- i think it is less sharky where i was yesterday.
ReplyDeletehey, you can teach me to surf when I come visit!
ReplyDeletebe careful, I think S. Africa has more fatal shark attacks than Australia, just be a beach bunny!!
