Life at The Willows

Currently we are staying at The Willows, a beautiful and neat resort on the seaside 10km from Port Elizabeth. Our spaceship/tent setup has "upgraded", as we now sleep in the 2 little camp tents and the inside of the big tent serves as a school/work room. It is necessary as we've had rain and mist, and working with books, laptops, etc. under the canopy of the tent only would have damaged it.

The only workspace for 5 of us....

We're finishing up school and resting with our "tourist activities" now and then for change, but the general idea is that in the week my dad has to work and we have school. We've Geocached (https://www.geocaching.com/) some more (which is treasure hunting all around the world; we found 3 just in the resort!), watched sunsets, and swam in the ocean.

Geocaching in the night!

Amongst the rocks.

The water is cold...

 But who cares. They snorkeled anyway.

 Enjoying the ocean. (Elna especially!)

 

We've gone on walks and had fun with our rollerblades.

Swings!

Mom and dad (we are wearing jackets because an icy wind is blowing).

Me and Panoramas. 

 

We were also very fortunate to have seen a massive school of dolphins during our stay here, as well as a mother humpback whale and her calf. The whales were constantly breaching, and we watched them across our whole ocean range of vision. They were too far away for pictures, but we saw them very clearly with our binoculars and it was amazing.

A fun photo shoot on the 5x10 meter beach. 

Till next time when I'll post about all our outings!
