Llandudno sundowners

Probably my favourite beach in the whole world, I always love coming here to watch the sunset.  It was as beautiful as ever.  We also had an invigorating dip in the ocean.

A really fun morning exploring a part of Llandudno I've never been to before.

 

Llandudno sundowners with The Herds

Always wonderful to spend time with Brandon Warren.  It was a lovely, still evening.

It looked like it would rain but it held off. Nothing beats sunset at Llandudno even on a cloudy evening. A great way to say farewell to Russel, Lisa and The Herds.  

Beach Crawl

After climbing Lions Head with Antony and Matt, Chrisèl and I did a tour of some of Cape Town's most beautiful beaches before joining the family on Llandudno Beach for Sam's 14th birthday party.

Highlights of our beach crawl included ...

• A stunning warm day, perfect for walks along the beach and a dip in the ocean.
• Walking down to Clifton's 3rd beach for a sit down.
• Moving onto Camps Bay for an invigorating swim and delicious ice cream (once we eventually managed to find parking!)  The water was brisk to say the least!
• Heading onto Hout Bay for a walk along the beach in the lovely late afternoon light.  
• Bumping into Heather, Russell's mum, on the beach and having a bit of a catch up.
• Watching the frolicking dogs on the beach, all having a ball.
• Going to Woolies where we bought some delicious salads to take on with us to Llandudno.
• Meeting the family on Llandudno just in time for a spectacular sunset. They're always so beautiful here. Of course, we took lots of silhouette shots, which came out great.
• Meeting Sam's 3 friends (she'd decided to opt for an intimate party this year).
• Sam and friends stripping down to their costumes despite the cool temperature and having a splash and paddle in the freezing ocean with much shrieking and laughing.
• A lovely picnic of salad and pizza on the beach by candle light.
