If you hopped into the car right now and had to drive anywhere, where would you go? My go to would definitely be to the sea! We took a trip back in 2022 and drove the 6 hours to Ballito, KZN South Africa. I am going to share a few of the fun places we visited while down there, starting with our drive and first stop. The time we went, it was the beginning of Autumn and so I got really excited to see the first pretty brown leaf and thought it looked quite epic with the gravel background. Of course our breakfast stop on the drive down was "Wimpy"... the best road trip restaurant.
Once arriving we went straight to accommodation and relaxed but the next morning we went out for breakfast to "Concha" Bakery. Above is a picture of the shop over the road that was right on the beach front. Below were the unique water bottles we were given (along with my very good coffee) Aren't these "Yes, definitely" water bottles so cool? Each bottle had an artwork by different small artists, celebrating art and smaller artists. The bottles are also reusable and recyclable, made from recycled material and the perfect size to just throw into your bag and take anywhere.
Check them out, they are always adding new artworks and new artists. https://yes-definitely.com/about
After breakfast, which was unreal, we took a long stroll on the beach, enjoying the waves and warm weather.
This sign was also outside of the seafront restaurant and the fact that "dogs welcome" is on the list twice shows me that they really want dogs to be included and I love that!
So all in all it was a lovely, peaceful and relaxed first day at the sea down in Ballito. The smell of the ocean is one of my favourite smells ever and sitting here writing this post now is making me desperately want to sit in the sand and listen to the waves again. I miss the sea...
Thank you for stopping by, let me know where your favourite holiday spot is at?
