I noticed one clipping mentions Toti so you must have grown up close to where I live, only came down after married growing up in Jo'burg on the West Rand.
Used to enjoy the live shows over the years and ballet, you followed your heart in the wrong direction, treasured memories now.
Yes, we were in Amanzimtoti for a few years. My Mother and Father had a restaurant called the Seahorse Restaurant on the beachfront and we lived in a house,on the top of the hill, which is now a skyscraper.
Yes I definitely followed the wrong direction but you're right, I have treasured memories now.
Long before we arrived, most old establishments are gone. By description this may have been where the Life Saving club and Clear Water Spur restaurant are currently situated (previously Poseidon that burned down).
Some of the old houses still stand up on the hill, however you mention High Tide Flats possibly, one block we stayed in for a month or two before buying our house.
Some grand memories before these towns got so over populated!
So strange to think of these places no longer existing Joan. I haven't been back and now haven't been to SA in over 6 years
Are you still living in Amanzimtoti?
Slightly south in Warner Beach/Winklespruit for last forty years, possibly time for change.
Wow - I remember Warner beach - can't imagine being in one place for so long haha - I've had a real gypsy life. So ready to settle now.
We have home base and still enjoy travel, did fair mileage in our youth and still get away regularly to keep sane 😉
That's good to hear Joan. Travel is a real necessity to keep one sane
