Dec 10 - The Beaches

We both slept very well, and were up and drinking a berry smoothie before 8.

In my motorcycle tour days I delt with a man named Chamberlain. He owns the largest hardware stores chain in Africa. His wife was best friends with my ex-wife's mother.
When he retired, he and his brother bought 4 houses on a very exclusive beach, tore them down, and built 2 big houses.
Herolds Bay is a small bay that has a good small beach. Very much for rich people. It is the start of the tourist season, and the beach had not a lot of people there.

 This is a pic of the houses along the beach at Herolds Bay in one direction.

And in the other direction.

I had to hug a street lamp pole to take the pics :-)
Notice the many shades of blue.

We then drove to Victoria bay. Another public beach. This one is a madhouse during the holidays. We looked around a bit, then sat in a open restaurant. We had a nice pizza. (diet pizza of course) and enjoyed all the girls in bikinis....oops I mean we enjoyed the scenery.

Victoria Bay. Up at the top of the picture is the tunnel entrance for the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe. The other side of the tunnel we saw yesterday from the whale watching point.

 Here is the restaurant.

 The view from inside the restaurant.

What a pleasant place it would be if all the people (except the two of us) were gone. Well, maybe the guy that makes the pizzas could also stay. :-)

Tomorrow is a visit to the Botanical Garden.
