Well the kids could have got their Eastern Cape rhythmic Gym colours if we were prepared to trek to Johannesburg for two 30 second routines each. We decided that a long weekend in a beach cottage in Port Alfred would be a better bet. So we left Thursday after school for a long weekend break with Aunty Taryn and Uncle Peter.
We had a lovely cottage 50m from Bretton beach.
We had perfect weather, T-shirt and shorts weather. The weekend before and the weekend after had perpetual rain and cold.
The kids had a great time fishing. Their cheap rods and reels lasted a morning, so Friday afternoon we went to Port Alfred in hunt of new equipment. Walking into DNA timbers there was a pink and a purple kiddies rod, needless to say the hunt was short. the kids love their new rods. Kayra has casting taped, Jorja needs a bit of work.
Peter caught the vast majority of the 20 odd fish we caught. Mostly gully sharks, a few barbels, and a shad. Peter graciously donated it to us, it was delicious!
We all had a great time, Thursday in bed by 10:30pm, Friday by 9:00pm and Sat by 8:30pm. Amazing what the sun and fresh air can do to you. We definitely will be going back there!
