Saturday
Today was the day….
We went walking on the other side of the city. Mike and I drove into Cape Town and parked at Radisson Blu Hotel. From there we walked to Arthur’s Rd Sea Point and back. It was about 7km and we enjoyed breakfast half way. The Mouille Point beach front is our old stomping ground – this car park particularly, where many a night time conversation were had while we were dating – 36 years ago. We used to sit in Mike’s YMCA bakkie and talk about our upcoming wedding and the future. I remember sitting in the car park with him just before the wedding and thinking it will be one of our last times we sat watching these waves. I suggested maybe one day we’d come back and do the same. We could never have looked 36 years ahead and imagined us walking past on an overcast windy June day.
The sea along the beach front was rough…
Green Point Lighthouse. This has some history to it. According to Wiki, it’s the first solid lighthouse structure on the South African coast and the oldest operational lighthouse in South Africa. It was first lit on 12th April 1824 – early 200 years old.
The sea front is full of amazing structures…
And along the sea wall a lot of incredible photos. After our halfway point, tummies full, caffeine levels high, we walked back through the Green Point Park, which is such a pretty place.
Definitely a place to visit again.
A quiet restful afternoon. Right now, I’m waiting for guests to arrive. They are running late, but say they should be here at about 6:30pm.
An altogether fine Saturday.
Psalm 57:2-3
I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill His purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to rescue me. My God will send forth His unfailing love and faithfulness.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
