[I really seem to be enjoying making these lists... so here is another!] Yesterday's summer sunshine adventure took us to the Old Biscuit Mill Market close to town, then the beautiful beach and finally the Italian Ice Cafe here in Kalk-Bay...
1. Sunscreen. Sunscreen. And then a little more sunscreen. (It is the official smell of summer).
2. Sandals, painted toenails, flowy, floral dresses and long, wavy hair swept up into swishing ponytails are all a part of summer beauty*
3. Roll down the windows and put the volume up.
4. Holding hands is still just simply amazing.
5. You need a camera (fullstop).
6. In times of sensory ecstasy, just stop, stand still and take it all in: the freshly picked flowers, flickering candles, brilliant colours, the mouth watering smells, the delicacies of cakes, cheeses, jams, olives, pizzas, pestos, bagels, wines... and let the feast begin!
7. People watching is fascinating.
8. Move out of your comfort zone – try something new.
9. Do not forget to bring your wallet, and it helps if you set a limit on your spending... or else you will be walking home :)
10. Finding a place to sit in throngs of excited people can be, let’s just say, difficult.
11. In the intense summer heat nothing refreshes like a smoothie: berry, lemon n mint, orange n mango...
12. “I want it ALL!”
13. Humungous, fluffy beach towels are awesome.
14. iPod, waterbottle, lipbalm, flip flops, sunnies and a good book make for a great beach day :)
15. Beach sand gets everywhere.
16. One cannot describe the feeling of running and diving into the ocean waves – pure pleasure.
17. Do not fall asleep in the sunshine.
18. Every day can be a Coldplay day.
19. Do not expect to get a perfect tan in one day – you have the whole vacation to get it just right.
20. Ice-cream and sorbet must be part of a summer day (big smile).
21. Browsing through vintage stores can make you covet like never before ;)
22. A cool shower on a hot day is glorious.
23. Sitting outside with the family, watching the sunset, eating little deli sandwiches from the market, is wonderful.
24. After a busy day you sleep deeply and dreamlessly.
