The importance of rest

We just spent the weekend away from the ship. We had our holiday mid year and came back rested and refreshed. But somehow, in the midst of the changes, lengthy sail and planning over the last few months, we found ourselves back in that depleted state.

Solution: stay ashore for two whole nights and explore some of the Cape. 

Specifically:

• Stay in a home with greater area than 72m square

• Cook steak on a braai (BBQ)
• Spot ostriches in the wild - look for the black feathers!

• Have lunch with a seal

• Give way to a baboon
• Walk from Cape point to the Cape of Good Hope

• Chat with a penguin at Boulders beach

• Drive a car on the left hand side of the road
• Have a glass of wine with dinner and lunch

• Eat breakfast on a balcony overlooking the ocean, in pyjamas
• Cook braai with taser handy in case of baboon intrusion
• Spot Dassies on walk

• Climb inside tallest lighthouse in South Africa

• Selfies at the Cape

• Allow Mark to have a double sleepover with Eli where no one has to sleep on the floor
• Have a bath!
• And so much more.

We are back Onboard. And we are ready to sail.

Thank you Lord for a restful weekend.
