Camping











We decided to move to a less expensive location. We ended up setting up camp on the beach. It wasn’t luxury by any stretch of the imagination but it was gonna be home for a couple of days so we’d make do. We decided to go for dinner in a place down the beach but that meant we had to drive there. We got stuck a few times again and the local kids came to the rescue. We gave them a few bob for their efforts and it was actually a bit of a laugh as we knew we would get out this time. We had a nice seafood hotpot and took off back to the beach. We started to unpack and low and behold there were only two tents. Birdman had forgotten to bring the other one. I wasn’t impressed. I decided to sleep on the back of “Fixer,” for the night. It wasn’t too bad as myself and James stayed up and drank a good bit of Rum and Coke and told campfire stories till 3. It’s amazing how comfortable the back of a Bakkie will feel when you’re half cut!
