Sunday
Today was the day…
We went for a wonderful early morning beach walk, all along Fish Hoek beach to the Silvermine river…
Turning back is the spectacle of Fish Hoek mountain with Elsie’s Peak. It began a conversation about how high Elsie’s Peak is compared to the tallest building in the world (Burj Khalifa in Dubai). Mike came up with staggering height differences. We couldn’t believe it so we Googled it. He’s absolutely right. Elsie’s Peak is a mere 177m
Burj Khalifa…830m to the tip.
When we were in Dubai in 2011, we went up it. You can only go as high as the observation deck which is at the 561m mark. Makes Elsie’s Peak look small!
This afternoon we walked up the mountain behind us to see Rob’s plot. He has forged a path up the mountain, something we have been thinking of doing. It’s really steep and I slipped on my backside when coming down. I was watching out for snakes, spiders and scorpions but didn’t see any.
The view from up there is pretty spectacular…
But it is so high, it makes our 80 steps look like child’s play.
It’s been a lovely Sunday.

Isaiah 40:29
He gives strength to the wear and increases the power of the weak.
That’s what we all need.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
