Screamed out of bed for sunrise. Sad thing was that the sun rose before we could see it. It happened on the other side of the sand dunes, but we still were on the beach/rocks before it showed its face.
We headed back to the van for coffee and breakfast. Then I received a very important phone call from Transnet. I was asked to attend a meeting with regards my lighthouse project. I was really very excited and we rushed through breakfast and we were on the road by 10.00.
Arrived at the Transnet offices in the PE Harbour and 3 hours later we walked out feeling so positive and motivated with what was discussed. The future really looks good for me and my book. More details to follow later.
After meeting we headed back to the beach for some KFC for lunch. WE were both starving. Headed off to the Deal lighthouse. Sadly I was unable to get to it. Will try again tomorrow to see how to get there.
We then headed to Donkin light house. This light house is now decommissioned as the city lights have become so intense that the light cannot be seen from the sea. The pyramid is a monument to Elizabeth Frances Lady Donkin who died in 1818. Her husband who was devastated by her death built it 1820 in memory of her. Walking around the light house, there were some amazing mosaic images. More time is needed to read all the information in this space. I encourage everyone to take time to look at the area.
We headed to Cape Recife light house, but got there a bit too late and we did not really want to walk around at this late stage of the day. We will go back tomorrow.
We returned to Willows Caravan Park for a good night’s rest. Tomorrow we might have some friends who live in PE who want us to come and spend some time with them. If things don’t work out for us, we will sleep the last few days at Willows. Will see what happens.
What an amazing day. I’m so excited to see where this adventure is going to head to.
Going to bed with a very happy heart.
