After a busy and stressful week during which I never even touched my camera, I took myself off on a sunset cruise up the Berg River on Tollies Boat Cruises this evening. Unfortunately the warm sunshiny day suddenly clouded over resulting it it becoming dark before sunset, but thank goodness I had a nice thick anorak against the wind chill on the water, and I took chips and pretzels and drinks along so I could just chill and relax and treat myself (It's not so lekker going out to dinner on my own, but being with a bunch of strangers on a boat cruise is different)
Ha - haven’t heard “lekker” for a while! (Sean’s father is Dutch and we spent some time in Holland) I love the title too. It is hard going off and doing things alone, but good on you!
@beckyk365@narayani@ludwigsdiana@koalagardens@pattyblue@777margo Thank you all very much. Was such a lovely outing. I just have to start thinking of different things that are fun to do on my own. Sitting in a restaurant on my own, for example, doesn't sound like fun. But I am sure I will find other more "active" things to do.
@beckyk365@narayani Yes, lekker is used as nice as well as tasty. I think it really should be tasty as it is mainly used describing food, but local colloquialism uses lekker to describe just about anything.
It is even used as "good" in some instances. Local people will say "Lekker naweek" meaning "Have a good weekend" but yet you don't use it as good in "good morning" - there the word goeie will be used.
