Went for a walk on the beach as the sun rose over the Indian Ocean and except for a few few shark fisherman there was nobody on the beach. Went back to Hennie's house , showered packed up and had some coffee and drove up the coast to Tsitsikamma. Hennie and Gerrard I met when they were racing in this year's Dakar race and they would stop everytime they saw me at the end of the day and they won Rookie of the Year which is a monumental achievement on your first attempt.
I can never bypass Tsitsikamma without stopping in to see the rugged coastline and reminisce on vacations spent here with my parents. Last year the restaurant burnt down and they still haven't even started construction on a new one.
I then left for St Francis to visit a lifelong friend and she gave me the wrong phone number but still tracked her down. I have known Debbie since a child and they invited me to stay and we had an incredible evening with her daughter and grandkids and husband Greg. We had a braai and lots of beer and laughter and a delightful room and deluxe bed that I collapsed in at the end of the evening.
