So when people said &quot;Fish Hoek is the warm side&quot; I would tell them that, no - the warm side is on the other side of the country, actually.Tamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13875207633073348136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-46264081073296198972010-01-15T08:39:56.640+02:002010-01-15T08:39:56.640+02:00With you on the doggy paddle. I have tried swimming the ‘proper’ way, with the head popping out ever so slightly to get some air, and I almost drowned. Friends might laugh at me, but I’m quite happy paddling around. As for the beach, I’m sticking to ankle deep =)Ellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07881917406661282212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128611944406569759.post-42111856014536657432010-01-14T18:03:15.949+02:002010-01-14T18:03:15.949+02:00do you know about box jellyfish and irukandji?<br /><br />almost invisible and way more deadly.<br />Trust.

There is no one at Fish Hoek or Glencairn beach today, not a soul even so much as walking through the little waves that lap softly on the shore! <br /><br />Great to discover your blog, and stoked that you&#39;re also living behind the lentil curtain!
