Day 16 - Cintsa & The Wild Coast

We strolled into breakfast about 0815 after one of the best nights sleep I’ve had all trip. We had a chat to the receptionist about the weather and she had told us that they had had snow 3 days ago!! Luckily the weather that morning was about 17 degrees. 

Some of the group went off on a morning hike and safari but Deb, Kate and I decided to have a chilled day and do our own exploring. 

We left the hostel about 1030 and followed the signs to the beach which took us to over a wooden bridge over the sea and to what appeared to be a dead end. It was only when we looked left that we saw what looked like a sandy path leading the way part in the sea and part on land. After much laughing and cambering about over sand dunes and through bushes we made our way onto the beach. 

Kate had decided that she wants to create a montage of video clips and put them together with the Africa song in the background so there was a number of ridiculous shenanigans taking place during the day. 

The wind had crept up that morning so we were blasted by wind and sand as we walked along the shore (our own form of natural exfoliation). We spent half an hour walking along the beach before heading up some wooden steps and through a park before ending up on the “main road” before finding a nice little restaurant for lunch. We stayed there a good few hours chatting and just enjoying the sun before it disappeared and the wind picked up again so we headed back the way we came and attempted the clambering back to the hostel. 

It was a very relaxed day which was well needed and good to spend some time with the girls who I get on with really well.
