Day 34: Umngazi River Bungalows

We woke up to our little piece of paradise on the Wild Coast, so peaceful and beautiful with the sun rising over the sea and a flock of swift terns chilling on the beach.

After breakfast we took the ferry across the lagoon to the beach. Kevin, the ferryman, like all the staff at Umngazi, was very friendly and eager to assist with anything.

 

 I did go for a nice long walk along the beach and then we had a long swim in the sea. It's a perfect swimming beach and as the tide was going out, the conditions were perfect for a great hour in the water. It's hard to believe that less than a week ago we were in the snow at 3 300m and now we are basking in the sun and swimming in the sea.

We virtually had the beach to ourselves, being out of season, the resort is fairly quiet.  We were however joined on the beach by a small herd of cows, who had come down to sunbathe. 

After lunch, we spent the afternoon chilling and reading in preparation for our pre dinner drinks and 4 course dinner.
