    Well, another spot to visit. We had an awesome experience anyone should try. The owner of Mozambik, Brett, has an initiative going...once a month takes a group interested people to a restaurant in Shakashead to experience local traditional cuisine. An absolute must foodie adventure. Not only for the food, but the humbling that comes with it. We are so blessed, any time you feel the need to complain when the simple things in life challenge you, think again, think of those less fortunate. 🤔

    Salt Rock looks like such a lovely beach town. How cool you can camp so close to that hotel. The waves in this video were crazy, no wonder you couldnt use the audio...it looked so windy. But hey it is awesome you saw a whale at the other beach! It seems there is so much to do here!

    Stayed in the Salt Rock Hotel in '70s with my Aunt and my cousin's, it was so beautiful. It has glamed up alot since then. I think we could eat dinner for 4 for about R4. The part I enjoyed most of your video was the sea and the whales. I would love to see more beach scenes, preferably with just the sound of the sea. We live in the UK so seeing videos like this brings back memories. You are so fortunate to have your family with you. Thanks for showing us what's going on there. Best wishes from N Ireland :)
