Thick, threatening clouds are rolling in from the east as I sit overlooking the Indian Ocean on Kwazulu Natal’s south coast. Except for the wind, the weather has been spectacular since we arrived here on Monday.
It has taken me a while to wind down and get my mind out of that crazy Jo’burg-on-the-go mentality but I’m getting there.
The days have been filled with exploring the area, cooling down in the tidal pool and taking walks on the beach and to the lagoon. I’m even finding time to catch up on my favourite blogs!
At night the restless sea tumbling onto the shore below my window puts me to sleep.

oh my word, i assume (and assumption is a dangerous thing i know) someone is on shall we say “holiday”? nice! enjoy
Indeed! Catching my breath. Thank you – I certainly will.
Welcome to our world Jacquie. Hope you have a restful and re-energized time down here on the South Coast.
Thanks for the friendly welcome Don! What a wonderful world you have
Enjoy your time away from Jo’burg, and recharging your batteries.
Thanks Colline! I will.
Have a super break.
Isn’t it very humid?
Thanks! Strangely enough, not too bad. The wind is nice and cool which helps.
oh! nothing like the ocean to give a break from busy-ness!
Absolutely! There’s just something about the sea …
Oh, wow! You are looking at the Indian Ocean. Sounds so far away and exotic to me. I must do and look at the map and see where you are.
Have a wonderful time!!!!
The Indian Ocean on the coast of Africa … sounds a bit Irish, doesn’t it
Thank you, I will.
Welcome. Nice to read your post again. I was wondering about the absence of your posts. Have a lovely time.
Hey. Thanks! I was hectic before leaving to come on holiday and that’s why I was so scarce here on WP, but back again in full force
Thanks for dropping by!
Love the sound if the sea – enjoy its soothing tones far from the madding crowds of Egoli.
Thank you. I am loving it. It is strange how, despite the sound of the sea, it is so peacefully quiet compared to home.
On vacation? How terrific. Hope you have a marvelous time, Jacquie. What a treat to listen to the waves roll in as you fall asleep.
It really was a treat Lori, it is a sound I never tire of.
beautiful photo! enjoy!
