A First Father's Day

Coffee and beskuit in bed, along with a gift voucher for
six dives in the local freezing water!

Along all the millions of fathers around the world, both first-timers, young, old and experienced alike - Luka and I got to spoil Chris this past Sunday on his very first Father's Day.  It started with coffee and beskuit (like biscotti, but better) in bed, followed by a selection of chocolate chip pancakes and cinnamon French Toast (though I digress, I did forget the bacon...)  An afternoon walk on the beach was followed by a late lunch/early dinner at local eatery Camel Rock.  


For a gift I got Chris a six-dive package with local dive shop Pisces Divers in Simons Town - good thing I did not spring for the 10-dive package as Chris's comment when he saw the gift was, 'do you know how cold that water is?'* - looks like Tropical Dive Boy will finally have to earn his diving stripes!  A number of books and of course the requisite Big Blue funny t-shirt to finish things off.

So lucky to have this experience with such an awesome fellow!

* Incidentally, the current water temperature according to the dive shop is 11 Degrees Celsius (51 Farenheit - that is compared with the 32 Celsius it often is in waters off Dili.
