Three Sisters and the Elephant Rock

The good thing about staying at a place you don’t like is the lifting feeling when you leave it. Leave it we did—and much earlier than we had to. The Three Sisters and Elephant Rock were waiting for us.

We should have researched the place properly before we got there, though. You can only see it at low tide. But! We got lucky—it was indeed low tide when we arrived. Just as we got out of the car, we saw a lady slip and fall in the muddy, slippery sand, so we proceeded with caution, intent on not slipping ourselves. Well, I almost made it to the end… when I did.
It was about time I washed my clothes anyway. It had only been a few hours since I last did, after all...

Needless to say, the 1.5 km it took to hike through the estuary to reach the rocks was incredibly slippery. Every step had to be taken with caution. I often got stuck in the mud, needing extra time, strength, and effort to free my shoes (cleaning them afterwards was quite the task too!). But the view was worth it—as it almost always is here.

Though… I did fail to see the resemblance to the namesake elephant. I’m not even sure it’s in one of my pics. I just couldn’t figure out which one it was. 😄Read more
