Last Saturday we went to the beach. Normally in October you have to dress up pretty warm when going to the beach but this time, the weather was unusually warm. We spent the entire day on the beach (arrived at 11am). In the evening, Timboektoe hosted their annual closing party. The Lefties Soul Connection were performing live and there were a few good DJs.

The snails were put on the beach just for this event and later in the night, some people put them on fire, so nothing was left the following morning. You can also see Giorgio the little Italian carry his board (the longest board you could get… the waves weren’t very good) back to the rental place. All and all, a nice day.

We finally got home at about 4.30am. I’m already looking forward to Timboektoe opening again next Spring. Every year in Autumn, the place closes up near the end of September or the beginning of October. The winter storms go all up the way up the dunes, so there’s no way a place like Timboektoe could ever survive if they left the place on the beach. That’s why they’re breaking it up on Monday. So that means no more hot chocolade with rum after a good kite session at Timboektoe for a little while… I’ll have to bring my own
