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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Being already time for lunch we fed ourselves richly at the Ocean Basket restaurant by the river.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Bao, on the other hand, was delighted by the waters edge. A bit of sand and water and she was in heaven.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
