Sand Plover

At the entrance to the Sand Plover we pulled of the main road along a very bumpy road and parked up in the small car park. We then had to walk over a very rickety bridge made out of wooden planks which lead towards the Sand Plover. The building was a little shack with an upstairs lookout area and benches and tables outside looking out across the beach to the sea. Cathy, James Emily and Robin were busy blowing up balloons and putting up party banners, we were introduced to Robin, Emily’s boyfriend who is staying out here for a week. We decided to leave them to finish off the party decorations and take a walk along the beach towards cape point, on the way we passed a small lagoon and on the bank was a two foot long crocodile as we approached it scurried off into the water and hid among the reeds. Further on we could see the eyes of another crocodile submerged just under the surface of the water bearing in mind the lagoons were separated from the sea only by the beach. We headed back towards the Plover by this time Emma, Sukey, Greg, Andrew Paul and Courtney had arrived we ordered some drinks and sat chatting until the buffet dinner was served. We ate a meal of chicken, beef, vegetarian curry rice and salad, we then handed out the presents for the birthday girls and boy to open rounding off the evening with chocolate cake. We then left at around 8.30pm carefully making our way across the rickety bridge which was unlit however the restaurant staff did shine a torch for us to pick our way across.
