Road Trip Day 9: Paternoster

Road Trip Day 9: Paternoster

When we arrived in Paternoster, which is a very small town on the West Coast of South Africa, we suffered to get accommodation. As you might remember, we did not reserve any accommodation on this trip!!

Then by luck we found accommodation in the Waterfront Collection. The apartments were basically built in an old fish factory.

The video shows the inside, as well as the view from the inside, which we loved. The photo above shows the outside, which does not looks like much.

Like most fish factories, this one was situated right next to the ocean, and we were surrounded by the sea!!

We took a leisurely stroll to explore the surroundings.

Soon the sun started to set, colouring the sky in the most beautiful shades of orange.

As I have mentioned before, here in South Africa we have a thing called load shedding which is basically scheduled power outages as we don't have enough power supply to match the demand, and the power outage was scheduled to start soon. This gave us the opportunity to have a nice romantic candle lit dinner, with the fire place going as well.

My wife made some salad, and I had some meat on the fire, just outside the door. Soon it was dark, and we could enjoy our dinner, after which we went to bed.

The next day we awoken to a great winters day, with the ocean all around us!!

We went for a morning stroll, breathing in the fresh sea breeze
and enjoying the view.

We really enjoyed our stay in Paternoster and decided to stay for a few days as this little town was great and we really relaxed here!!

I hope you enjoyed the post and that you have a wonderful day.
