An Afternoon at Velddrif


If you've been following my mom blog, Amanda's Books and More, then you'll have seen a couple of today's photos. We spent an afternoon in Velddrif on South Africa's West Coast. Three of our kids came with.

Port Owen

We drove into Port Owen, looking for a scenic spot where we could get milkshakes. We found a restaurant bustling with a stream of Christmas holiday makers like ourselves. The place was so busy that the waitress told us there was a long wait for food orders. We told her that we had come for milkshakes only. We didn't wait terribly long, but the milkshakes were the worst we'd ever had. Amanda liked hers, but the rest of us didn't and I left mine unfinished.

Thanks, Nancy! That's a sweet vacation home that you and your sister rent out. Sorry about the bad way it was treated recently. Do you have a contract for your guests with a clause about extra charges for such things, so that you can legally bill them from their credit card after they've left? I'm now following you on Twitter and Pinterest. Take care!

What a wonderfully relaxing afternoon. Too bad about the milkshakes. Not sure how you can ruin them unless you use very poor ingredients.
Wow!! That seagull looks funny next to the ducks!
somehow seagulls look so much bigger when they are after your food :)

I have always liked Flamingos.
I read online, somewhere, that Flamingos can fly.
I didn't check into it. I have never seen one fly.

Is the weather getting cooler? What is the average temp. in South Africa?
