On to Paternoster! A beautiful little town where white-washed buildings and crayfishing (sometimes illegal) abound. We enjoyed relaxing here; the town felt truly tiny, with about 5 restaurants and a gas station, and a bunch of guest houses. Mostly saw South African vacationers (it was a three-day weekend, and town was hopping), and local children selling small heart-shaped wreaths that they make by stringing shells onto wire.
What do South Africans do on vacation? Go for long walks (we walked for about three hours in the morning), drink at a late lunch, and watch the sunset. As far as we could tell. And it was very enjoyable!

| We stayed in an area of town called Mosselbank - lots of mussels on the beach out front. |
 |
| Jim got his shoes wet - made for an interesting few hours. Good thing he doesn't mind sitting barefoot at dinner... |

| View from Voorstrandt Restaurant, right on the beach. Beautiful and relaxed! |
 |
| Up and at 'em, ready for a long walk on the beach! |
 |
| Jim gave me a lesson on barnacles and limpets and sea anemones, all of which are in this picture. |
 |
| Sea anemones open in a tide pool - they were all ranges of colors! Pink, blue, purple. Beautiful. |

| After lunch in town, we climbed up the hill for a view. |
