Paternoster (Our Father in various Latin-based languages) is a small sea-side town up the west coast, north of Cape Town. It’s a great place for a day visit, though it’s a fair distance to travel. We spent 3 days over our anniversary there, and had the luxury of being out and about on the beach once all the day visitors had left for home. It’s at this time that Paternoster becomes a sleepy place where times seems to stand still and the tide decides the same.
This gentleman (for want of a better word) had set up a beach chair and let the tide lap around his feet. And around his coffee mug while reading a book.
To me, this epitomises Paternoster…
