On Wednesday Helen and I took our younger generations to Port Alfred where my sister Sue has a holiday home. We had a brief stopover in Bathurst on the way.
Upon reaching Port Alfred, our first stop was the west pier where we had an excellent view of the coastal dunes to the north. We took our legs for a stretch out to the end of the pier there.
Being already time for lunch we fed ourselves richly at the Ocean Basket restaurant by the river.
After taking our bags to Sue’s home we headed back to the beach taking a couple of rented dune boards for Ben and Amy to have their thrills with. The day had already gone off plan for them as they had had a tandem skydive booked in the morning but the pilot had had an emergency and couldn’t fly.
Ben and Amy did a pretty good job of the dunes but Ben surprised us little by eventually trying out the highest dune he could find.
Bao, on the other hand, was delighted by the waters edge. A bit of sand and water and she was in heaven.
In the evening we ate out again at Spurs in the marina area before heading back and polishing off a bottle or two of wine.
