Beachfront rock pools

I wonder how many people still go and explore rock pools at low tide. We used to spend school holidays with my grandparents in Paradise Beach near Jeffreys Bay and the beach was our playing field.

An unique adult experience… discover something you never knew existed

I'm so fanatical about the caching that I could probably do a whole blog about it, but I decided not to go totally overboard with it. Instead I'll share a Geocaching picture once a week. I'll … Continue reading Finding Gollum’s Precious →
