Cape Point

Today with it being a public holiday the streets are very quite, we decided to visit cape point area and found a lovely secluded beach with a couple of kingfishers darting in and out of the waves catching fish. Paul made the kids his famous sand sports car which they were happy playing in whilst we went in for a swim the water was so warm, not cooling at all. I suddenly pointed to a large fish about two foot long just behind Paul he turned and followed it up the beach trying to get it closer to shore, whilst I made an exit for shore as it looked to me like some sort of shark or cat fish. There was a young lad on the beach so we asked if he knew what fish it may have been he was unsure but said it would have been a good meal for us and couldn’t believe we had let it go. We ate a sandwich picnic enjoying the sunshine and were visited by a large cricket which landed on Paul’s flip flop, and stayed there most of the afternoon.

We finally packed up and walked around to cape point where there are a few hotels and a lovely stretch of white beach with palm trees we will definitely have to come back as very beautiful. We set off back to the car disturbing a large monitor lizard which ran for cover into one of the hotel grounds and bumped into Emma, Courtney and Paul all kitted up in their motor bike gear must be very hot for them, they were looking for the rest of the gang.
