DIVING PONTA MAMOLI - G-SPOT & BASS CITY


 
THE PHOTOS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. We are very lucky to live right on the doorstep of such healthy and largely untouched reefs.
 
It is like venturing into another world, full of colour and joy where everyone is at peace and in sync with each other.

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
This Honeycomb Moray was just too happy to pose for the camera. Very inquisitive decided to come and have a extra close look at the camera and ended up leaving smudge marks on the lens from his nose :)

Our Little Home In The Bush

 
So we finally moved into a small little house on the property which is actually made out of concrete. No more wooden walls that shake in the wind and makes the waves breaking sound like the Greek Gods have returned to earth to wreak havoc amongst us mere mortals.
 
Unfortunately didn't take any before photos, but we decided to do a small makeover and really make it our own. So just for the parents, here you go a few pics on where and how we live...
 
BEDROOM
 
Tokolosh the cat, having a very lazy afternoon on our fabulous stark white bed. The bed comes with paw prints!!!!




 
THE LOUNGE
 
 



 
THE SMALLEST KITCHEN IN THE WORLD
 
 


 

 
Our home made spice rack.... Now everything cat fit.


 
 
THE VERANDA & OUR AWESOME "BRAAI" AREA
 





 
 
OUR GARAGE AND VEGGIE GARDEN AREA


Beer bottle gardening... Cheap and makes a great border to define the garden... If you live in the bush you make a plan with what you've got.
Dru might have to drink a bit less beer :) - Just kidding we got the bars to keep us all their empties.


CINNAMON BASIL
PARSLEY JUST POKING THEIR HEADS OUT

GARLIC CHIVES & SPRING ONIONS

CORIANDER


SWISS CHARD - A LONG WAY TO GO!
MINT FOR OUR MOJITO'S


ROCKET

CARROTS

STRAWBERRIES

CHILLI'S

OREGANO

HABANERO CHILLI'S. Not for the faint hearted as Dru figured out when he put it all over our pizza thinking it was baby yellow peppers...

BOTTLE BORDERS

ALL THINGS STRAIGHT OUT OF OUR GARDEN



THE VIEW

 
 
We have a view of the bush from our back door and veranda. The other side or front door is the veggie garden, once you climb over the dune, the magnificent beach and ocean. What most people would call PARADISE...

 
 



 
Alert for about 30 minutes, ate my tuna & shrimp...

 
Ok going back to bed now, but its too far to walk, think I'll just lie down here a bit.


 
 
A Little friend decided to come and hop all over the lounge... Tokolosh not impressed, he hates sharing.
