The Ancient Fish Traps In Still Bay


Well Hello There Adventure Seekers!


Adventures Into StilBaai!


The next day on our adventure held some unplanned adventures, or rather is was all planned but with us arriving late and well being a day late really messed with our heads. We just couldn't fathom that it was Christmas!

How even?

Well whatever the situation, days like those needs to be celebrated with family and friends! Oh and don't forget the good foods!

Seems like the day was a huge success before we even did the daying!

StilBaai

A place that I've never been to in my entire life and there is so much to see as well. I won't say there's much to do, it's more of a retirement village if you ask me, but they have some beautifull views and something of an ancient sort hidden away!

SkulpiesBaai.

So I'm not entirely sure about what goes for what but I do think the beach is called "SkulpiesBaai" and the entire bay is called "Still Bay"

Now the only downside to this day was the weather, it wasn't particularly bad and it could have been worse but the clouds really gave off that snuggling in bed with hot chocolate vibes and not strolling along the beach vibes.

A real mood killer for the photos! But we had stuff to see or at-least that which we could have seen with the tide being high.

Then There Is What We Came For, Although It's Still A Walk Off!

A Black Rock I Picked Up On The Beach.

It might not hold much significance now but just wait till I pick up my white rock!

Turbo's! We Found A Hella Small Turbo And Then We Seemed To Find An Even Smaller One!

We Got This Idea That We Might Have Found The Smaller Turbo's Shell! Although Highly Unlikely!

The Gazers Chair.

There is no doubt in my mind that this seat hasn't seated anyone in a couple of years, getting to it is just a hassle and well sitting on it won't be very comfy now would it? Unless you like falling off.

It did make for a nice photo though, I can't say this is as ancient as the fish traps!

Ancient Fish Traps!

We're almost there! We really are!

Actually the ancient fish traps are all around us, we've been walking past them since we landed on the beach!

The thing is the tide is pushed up and it makes it harder to spot them.
Besides it's nothing fancy at all, just the ancient bush people using their heads with what they were given!

Imagine back in the day when they realized what they can do to have effortless fishing?

Just imagine how ecstatic they must have been at the discovery of this! Or was it just a meh we did that type of situation?

I wish the tide could have been lower, but we had to make due with what we got. StilBaai was quite some drive off and if we missed it we would have missed it all together!

Although I am going to return later this year and see if we can catch it at a low tiding!

A Somewhat Successfull Day!

Now even though the day wasn't exactly what we planned and wanted it to be it was still a huge success and we've had lots to see! We did go home with quite the headaches because of spending the entire day in the windy weather.

But those are things that one can live with, I don't see how people go on vacations and just stay indoors at the slightest hint of bad weather? Like why? Bad weather is always going to be a factor, bad weather doesn't mean a bad day.

Am I right?

Thanks a million. It was a nice place to visit, although if the tide was a bit lower it wouod have been even more amazing. Then you'd actually have seen the traps more!
