Sandele Eco Retreat

After a couple of hours we left the reserve for Sandele, arriving early we greeted Geri wishing her a happy birthday we unloaded the car then headed for the beach to meet up with Amy who had phoned earlier. The walk to the beach was through the hotel grounds passing the circular lodges nestling between the trees. Sandel bay came into view fringed with palm trees and the odd thatched roof shack and was completely deserted so we won’t be getting bothered by any bumsters today. We said a quick hello to Amy and changed into our costumes as the sea looked very inviting and we were desperate to cool off, however as usual the water was too warm. Abigail and Bradley sat eating a sandwich and helped Amy put some finishing touches to her birthday sand art by decorating it with shells and cuttle fish bones. With all the other volunteers arriving we spent the afternoon in and out of the sea cooling off or sunbathing. It was unusual to have a herd of cows appear over the sand dunes and continue to mill around at the waters edge staying there most of the afternoon before passing us and heading on further up the beach and out of sight.
