Zinkwazi Weekend

The celebration of Gert’s birthday at Zinkwasi beach is becoming a yearly institution. This year we stayed at the First House in Zinkwasi beach, this house was built in 1906. The stately house is perched on a hill that overlooks the lagoon and the main beach .

A lot of toys for the boys were taken on holiday. Gert’s Jeep couldn’t get all the toys on the beach, so help from the local boat club's tractor was called in. As seen in the photo it was a lot of fun.

In the end the toys weren’t just for the boys but every body enjoyed them. The guys enjoyed the jet ski’s and the kids enjoyed the kayaks.

It was also Helgard’s first time on a jet ski on the ocean. I cannot speak for him so his fingers are doing the talking………

Let me put it this way, if you can jet ski on a dam, it does not mean you can jet ski on the ocean. The first time Gert and Rudy told me they were exhausted from jet skis on the ocean I thought these guys are just getting old, but believe me the ocean is a different story. Look at these two pictures, If you have done it yourselves you would understand the rush, otherwise I don't think anyone can appreciate it, no matter how hard I try to explain.

One of the days at Zinkwasi was cloudy and windy, so I got every body to say something about the holiday.

  • Rudi couldn’t or didn’t want to say too much, but the word niiiiiiiiiice was coming out of his mouth.
  • The house was something special for Charmaine the location of the house is pronominal, but the porch on the second level is freaky.
  • Delene was smiling when she said that she had to sit up straight in her bed to sea and appreciate the view.
  • Gert didn’t want to say something because he is shy and didn’t feel like talking, but I think he enjoyed the romance that the sea offers.
  • Little RJ got a fishing rod so fishing and crab words were coming out of his mouth when I asked him about Zinkwasi.
  • Alice baked some sweet cakes and enjoyed the sea view.
  • Helgard couldn't stop smiling, kayak in the sea followed by a jet ski, made his day.
Once again it was memorable holiday with friends. We all want to thank the Van der Westhuizens who insists on sponsoring the holiday, thanks!
