Yes, that means exercise.....so we start the new year with every good intention & a hike to the Point. First we have to pass what must be my favourite (okay... one of) houses in the village at the moment..I just love it. Sorry I couldn't take a pic from the front as the owners were in residence and that would just be plain rude... You can see the Point in the LHS of the pic....
And we start climbing - it is getting seriously hot now..stop to take a breath and prolong the moment by taking some photo's....here's an arty shot of Infanta..
En route there is some interesting fynbos, ericas and rocks with brilliant orange lichens..whatever the time of year in the Cape floral kingdom there is always something looking for it's 15 minutes of fame..
Three of us are taking a nice gentle stroll enjoying the smells & sights, whilst for Andy & Abby it is about the end goal rather than the journey so they've raced ahead..
You didn't seriously think we were just walking to the Point.....the prize at the end is a beautiful rock pool that is constantly being topped up by the incoming tide...
Pam broke her wrist on Christmas Day which meant that she spent most of it in A&E with the orthopedic surgeon! In practical terms this means that she can't get the cast wet otherwise it will go all horrid & smelly but she can't resist the rock pool so this is P making the best of a bad situation....we do have a good giggle..
After we had cooled down we headed back to the village with one last view from up top across to the other side of the bay..
