Uplifting tired hearts and troubled souls!

Weekends were created to break away from it all. To leave the things of the world behind and to spend quality time with family and friends.
I had to source the first picture to also show you some racing Dolphins a bit later in this post.
Come and have a look!

Now some will say, yeah, but what can we do on weekends? Same old same old?
Well hopefully I can give you a variety of ideas below!

A great idea for couples and singles looking for a fit soulmate! Canoeing and Kayaking keeps one fit and healthy.

Okay, so you don't like the idea above?

How's about this one below?

IMG_5957.JPG

No! You don't like tracking birds across the ocean?

Well, I think this below will change your mind!

IMG_5976.JPG

What if a pod of Dolphins decided to challenge the birds to a race?

IMG_5977.JPG

You can see that the dolphins are youngsters, as the one at the front peeps at the birds!
But they were going on in a high speed race!

IMG_6056.JPG

I was so grateful to catch this on camera and had I not tracked the birds, I would never have seen this race!
Nor would I have if I sat at home in front of my PC.

Another idea here for the adventurers among us!

Kite surfing has taken off in a big way here and at the start it was only singles that did the flying.
But nowadays people fly in pairs. Two kites with 2 people each in the sky!

Okay, now many among us are more sedate and we prefer comfort.
What will an outing on a yacht do for you?

IMG_5872.JPG

IMG_5878.JPG

Just to relax for a day on the ocean, with some drinks and some friends?

Still not for you?

Let me finish with these two enticements below!

IMG_6182.JPG

The more sedate harbor cruises are also very popular to see all of the historical stuff and seamen working on the huge container tankers. There is much to see in the harbor!

Uh,uh? Still not for you?

Here's the last duo!

IMG_6107.JPG

You can take a slow trip with Captain Hook on a pirate ship?

Finally this one is for artists!

IMG_6139.JPG

Go out and paint what it is that you see!

Oh! And here below I have included 2 short videos for you! One of the pirate ship and one of the big wheel!

VIDEO! The pirate ship!

VIDEO! The Slow turning Big Wheel.

And That's All Folks!

All of the activities were taken by me on camera during a recent 4 hour visit to the City of Cape Town, South Africa.
We started off at a place called Sea Point and made our way around to the famous Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.
The Table Mountain landmark can be seen in the background of the second video above.
We hope that everyone that reads this post can sense it's freedom and that I have managed to entertain your mind and soul on this day.

From the photos the dolphins finally surpassed the birds but I believe the birds will end up victories because the dolphins will give up on the long run.

Dolphins like to play games my friend, and you are right, as they will soon give up to find another game to play. That is a pod of youngsters and you will not find the adult dolphins doing that. The adults rather swim alongside slower moving boats.
Blessings!

Interest! Just like how young domestic animals doThey love fun!

So true! 👌 👌 👌

A post with Dolphins will always make me smile, brings back memories of the two times I swam with them many years ago

I love watching Kite Surfing, but have never tried it but have friends that do

Hope your weekend is goign well

Do you know that I have never swam with dolphins JJ and now I am too old?
Kite surfing I also love but cannot do because I cannot run (one leg shorter after the bike accident)
And so I cam only take photos and dream my friend.
But it is good to dream of clean and honest things, as it keeps the mind clear of the world's rubbish and the heart pure.
Blessings and a kind thank you for the gifts!

I was lucky to be able to experience thta back home in NZ there are a few places where you can swim with the dolphins ;)
I have terrible balance for skateboarding and i guess it would be the same with surfing so its something i will never try

Cheers and !BEER

Kite surfing is different my friend, as you don't need to balance. You simply steer the kite with your hands, sitting on a seat. It's the running to take off and again, the running to land that I cannot do.
You were so lucky to get that swim with the dolphins in NZ.
Blessings!

Wow! Amazing to capture the birds and the dolphins racing! And thanks so much for sharing it! That is what I like to do - be out on the ocean tracking the birds and watching the dolphins or even better yet swimming with the dolphins!

Oh yeah, swimming with them would be the ideal, but now at my age those days are gone hahaha.
Lucky enough just to do the tracking Lol.
Blessings and thank you!

Howdy sir papilloncharity! Wonderful shots and what a variety of things to do in the harbor!

A very popular place that cost millions to redevelop and there are also many new 5 star hotels at the waterfront. A real tourist haven.
Blessings!
