Surfing and Sinful Ice Cream

The counter at SINFUL. BLISSFUL!

This morning we went for a little paddle (me) and surf (him - I'm so tired by the time I reach the back line I have no energy left to actually paddle into a wave!)... Muizenberg has transformed over that last few years: it used to be a little dodgy to say the least! The only people you'd see were the beach-bum surfers in their clapped out volksies and a couple of the local homeless folks. Not so anymore! Muizenberg has seen a transformation with the overpopulated apartments in a state of disrepair renovated into trendy, upmarket ones filled with yuppies and tourists. You see families in fancy 4x4's heading down to a clean, safe and healthy environment for their surf lessons or a play and stroll on the beach. We've got Shark Spotters keeping an eye out for the men in grey jackets that lurk in the depths and friendly car guards who enthusiastically help you find a park. With the revamp of the buildings, the developers added retail space which has been filled with a KNEAD BAKERY AND RESTAURANT and Sinful Ice cream.

And let me tell you, a surf is not a surf without a sinful ice cream afterwards! Today's flavour of choice was peppermint in a sugar cone. If you have not yet tried Sinful, you're missing out... It's available in some Pick'nPay stores as well as Sinful shops around Cape Town - well worth a visit.

Now that's a good way to get ready for the new week!
