Today's breakfast consisted of maize porridge - meale pops! Maize, butter, sugar and milk, all mixed together.
We played a few games outside, watched the cute little chicks run wild in the garden and generally had a lot of fun. Afterwards we drove to the beach. We took a walk on the Port Elizabeth pier and watched the surfers catching some waves. We then drove to the wild coast side where - it really was wild! Waves were crashing against the rocks. We sat close to the sea but had to move back rather quickly as one wave was a little close for comfort.
Opposite the beach we stopped at a bar and cafe called Munkee Bizniz. We sat and chatted to Elston (the karaoke king) whilst we waited for the electricity to come on. Elston told us all about his family and being brought up in South Africa, which was really interesting but he had to leave half way through his sentence as the electricity came back on. This was a great place to spend the afternoon. The bar had loads of things for the kids to play on which certainly would raise a few health and safety eyebrows in the UK! There was food, a beautiful setting and of course, karaoke! All of the people singing were excellent. One big, burley man got up and performed a rock song which was really good. He had the most incredible high pitched voice.
Another fantastic day in South Africa ended with a huge dinner and a special treat ..... ice cream!
