As Jen mentioned yesterday, our camp last night is high up in the hills behind the inhabited strip, close to the coast. There are lakes all around us and the solitude is glorious. Yesterday we passed through the little settlement of St Ann’s. It has a special significance for us…
It wasn’t a good night. It seemed an ideal peaceful spot at the rear of the campground, next to an inlet. There was a road bridge across the water, not far away though, and the noise carried across the water. Not helped by boy racers and noisy motor bikes. Today…
We lost an hour late yesterday. Someone came and just took it away. Our campsite was pretty raw but most enjoyable. Mostly inhabited by a number or large RV (Recreational Vehicles or monster caravans). It rained hard till about 10pm, but this morning we woke to glorious sunshine. By the…
Today has been much calmer than yesterday. No dramas! We left our campsite near Pokeshaw early, at 09.00. We thought the owner would either come and ask us for money, or to move on, but we saw no sign of him. As none of the facilities were working and all…
What a glorious camp site. A narrow sand/gravel bridge with the ocean on one side and a river on the other. A leisurely pack up and ready to go around 9.30am. Getting back along the sand spit should have been easy as we had no trouble getting in. However, a…
I made the most of the comforts of our motel room this morning A bathmat to step out of the shower on to, instead of a muddy floor. A coffee machine. These sort of things don’t bother Dennis, but from a lady’s point of view, such little details are important!…
First of all. It’s been a momentous day, for a number of reasons. Federer beaten at Wimbledon, but a mighty battle. Well done Djokovic. England won the World Cup Cricket. Well done England. We could only get bits of both events. Jen was glued, I mean GLUED to the phone…
Our campsite was very spread out so we were miles away from the facilities. It was damp and grey when we woke, so another day of packing up a wet tent. We got everything stowed away and headed over the hill to the office, where the wifi worked and to…
The less said about the start of the day, the better. We had an electrical issue. It could have been solved in a few minutes but 51/2 hours later, I told the mechanic/con man to come out and leave the vehicle. He had managed to restore some of the functions…
Awake early after a restless night. Dennis was pondering over our electrics problem and trying to work out what the problem was. Last night when we had set up camp, and thought all was well, we discovered it was not. I was cooking dinner and tried to get some water…
