Beach break on the Wild Coast

Kids had a weeklong March break a few weeks ago, which we used to further explore South Africa. First I flew down to Durban with the girls for an interprovincial ice-skating competition. The Lion cubs team had an awesome skate and secured the gold-medal and their place in the national skating competition taking place in Cape Town in May. 

A few days later the boys arrived by car and we continued further down on the coast to Ramsgate. We had rented a lovely house by the beach there and had lots of plans of exploring the area. But in the end we were lazy and spent most of the week playing on the beach, swimming in the pool, watching movies, playing games and visiting local restaurants.
