We live less than 500 metres from the seashore and less than a kilometre from the bathing boxes of Muizenberg beach. Recently this whole area was turned into a fairground for the filming of Hollywood's "Speed 3" and for a month was abuzz with movie crews and make-believe. The waves come on shore here on a long beach with beautiful white sand. It is one of the few places in the world that has parallel waves and the long rollers come into the bay in long beautiful lines of cream-topped breakers. The sky and the sea melt into each other on hazy autumn days as the sea finally reaches the first shore she has beached on since leaving Antartica. This bay is called "False Bay" so named by the early wooden ship sailors who experienced the sudden fury of her storms, sending many a ship and sailor to the bottom of the ocean.
