The trip up the Outeniqua Mountain in the Power Van on the second beautiful day was once again hugely appreciated by all.  Magnificent king proteas took pride of place on the mountain slopes and  many of the exquisite spring flowers were still in full bloom. The majestic mountains and panoramic views were breathtaking, the air fresh and the warmth of the midday sun reminded everyone  that summer has come!

Wednesday was the day of opportunity for all to “do their own thing”!

Bad weather was expected on Thursday but it turned out to be a reasonable day. Herold’s Bay was the destination. First a drive along the rough track above the steep cliffs and the crashing ocean waves with the sea gulls crying and ducking and diving as they went about their daily foraging!  On this road, no development spoils the joy of just you and God’s creation! The morning came to a conclusion with a high class tea at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Oubaai, next to the famous Ernie Els golf course. The venue itself is rather austere (less is more these days!)  but the service was lovely, the carrot cake “to die for!” and the company full of fun and laughter with our effervescent hostesses, Lynnie and Ally hosting this grand tea outing.

The spiritual package each evening meant a meaningful and challenging end to each day.

These are some of the comments we received:

“We were thoroughly spoilt. It’s amazing the lengths you go to for us!”

“God’s love was so evident in the surrounding beauty and fed my soul!”

“The fact  that one can come alone without feeling lonely since there are so many great quality group activities arranged!”

Our last Program Event for the year has come and gone and we are excited about our plans for next year! There is something for everyone, no matter what your need or desire! Watch our Carmel web site and our newsletters for updates of all our events planned for 2012!
