Trip to Shelly Beach


What a fantastic time in the south coast of Natal, eastern part of South Africa. Was the first time we went camping together in an isolated area. So much so we where the only people in the campsite for a couple days. Which was great as it gave us time to get creative and jumpstart our writing project.


Here is the link to the album

You know how it is. You love your family an love being with them, especially when the make such good food lie my nonna, but being with the family is also work and time consuming. There where too many distractions and we couldn't get our creative spark to ignite. It's very hot in Pretoria and after a full italian lunch you can't move, let alone focus ;-). So we decided to take a trip before my uncles wedding in Durban on the 26th January. We aimed at the south coast, being cheaper and much fewer people. Well it really paid off. We had such a fantastic time sleeping out in the open right next to a small dam with the soon to be caught bass and a swimming pool at our disposal. I felt very relaxed and recharged and like it was never there my hand and mind where in sync and I was just writing and Rebekka creating wonderfully descriptive passages laying the path for the Book (won't get into detail just yet, all in due time)

hope you like the pics and would love to hear your comments

  1. Love the south coast, being holidaying there ever since I was about 10. Such a chilled vibe and not many places like it. Impressed with the fishing skills and the prawn braai.

    My folks have a house in Shelley Beach and planning to retire there at the end of this year so many more trips for me.

    Seems like you're living the dream, hope you're well buddy - take care.
