Leaving La Cruz

January 13, 2012

A few posts back I said that we were leaving La Cruz on Monday, but the weather has changed our plans.  Now our departure time is 4 am tomorrow morning.  Leaving La Cruz always has to happen at a weird time when you are going south as there is a cape to deal with and you do not want to do that in the afternoon.  With any luck we should be around the cape before noon but who knows what will happen.
The past 2 days have been so relaxing.  During the week we have done little jobs and other than shopping for provisions today we had nothing pressing to do today.
On Wednesday evening we went to the German restaurant in La Cruz.  What a pleasant surprise!  As I wasn't that hungry I had a cheese appetizer (Camembert with cream cheese I think and various spices)which turned out to be scrumptious.  Bob had a variety of German sausages served with mashed potatoes...all nicely seasoned with herbs.  And the beer!  That was probably the best.  Although it was a dark beer, it was not heavy and oh so good.
When we arrived, there was another couple seated,  and staff and guests were all speaking German.  I was sorry that we couldn't join in.
Once more we have enjoyed La Cruz.  The marina itself is well maintained and the staff are helpful.  More importantly is the activity.  Every day brings a new offering of activities.
It will be several days before I am on line again as we will be stopping overnight in Ipala which has no internet connection.  Perhaps Monday will see me back on line.
Have a great weekend.
