Sounds of the sea!

It's quiet in the house for the first time today. With a party of 8, stillness is hard to come by. Not that I want it. I'm used to noise. Especially considering that 5 of the eight are always in our own house. The laughter, banter and friendly combat is what makes a home feel joyful and me happy.

I think I'm the only one still awake, with only the waves crashing on the rocks outside in De Kelders, Western Cape to keep me company. 

A pleasant flight to Cape Town and a beautifully scenic drive brought us to Gansbaai earlier today for our much anticipated visit to enjoy Great White Sharks in their natural habitat. A wonderful lunch at Café Jacks cannot be left unmentioned - the lamb burgers and Angel fish both accompanied by delicious potato wedges prepared by this unpretentious establishment in Betty's Bay (who make their own pasta) deserve some airtime.

That said, I can't help pondering on the fact that I feel absolutely no fear for our adventure that awaits tomorrow morning. I cannot explain it. Maybe the reality is yet to dawn on me, for surely hanging out with sharks is meant only for dreams.....
