Beach House

The weekend after the Garden Route, we spent at the beach house of Elise's exchange partner, Lauren. Along with two Chilean girls, Pipa and Sofia, my exchange partner, and Lauren's mom, we drove to Hermanus, where the house was located. On our way, we stopped for brunch at 'Wimpy', a typical South-African fast food restaurant. We had delicious wraps, club sandwiches and burgers. The drive took us about two hours. As soon as we arrived, we put on some sunscreen and left for the beach. At the beach, we sand boarded in the dunes, which was really nice. It was a very windy day, which caused the sand to blow in my eyes all the time. This was annoying, and most of all, painfull. The beach was on walking distance of the house, so we could go back whenever we wanted. We went back to the house after about an hour. At the house, we had a drink, watched a movie and played some card games. We had lovely chicken for dinner and watched another movie afterwards. Then, we went outside to the balcony, where we watched the most beautiful starts I've ever seen. There were no streetlight in the area of the beach house, which made the stars so bright! We chatted, laughed and stared, lying in our sleeping bags. It was very cozy.
The next morning, we went to the beach again, just for tanning. Afterwards, we went into town where we did some shopping and had drinks at a nice cafe, where we had a beautiful sea view. We had lunch at home, Boerewors, and left the beach house around 13:30.
