Our last day of travel back home--very sad we will miss our nomadic life. We had got the camp set-up waxed, an hour and tents up, beds made, and braai on the go--pretty good going. But we planning our next trip... Watch this space if you not too bored! Sterkfontein Dam another of our GREAT dams. Last signal stop Sunrise at HOME _________ We spent the weekend sorting and tweaking our set-up, ready for the next time.
Well Tuesday was a rude awakening to camping on coastal sites in the West Coast in September. Firstly the 4x2 accessibility it definitely wasn't, with hectic middle-mannetjies that almost jammed us for good. Thank the pope David is an almost expert at sand driving and we just made it up the very sandy rise. Finally reaching camp at 6ish to no sun, howling gales and freezing temps not a good combo for camping EVER. Did a bare minimum pitch up to survive the night. By morning David was ready to bale with threat of rain adding to the mix!!! Ohhh and we were running out of water eisch!! But we saw a glimpse of sun and decided to stick it out too at least drive a bit of the park in search of elusive flowers. We found some flowers, lots of Seals aka Robbe, a ghost house and a dead whale. Further North was putting on a better show this year than the south side and I doubt we will back to this park. BUT David does just love the challenge of driving in extreme conditions and is extraordinarily good at it. It has allowed us to see places very few people will venture and for that I am externally grateful.
