Campervan Cooking – Christmas Gammon with Potato Rosti, Glazed Carrots and Baby Marrow
We’re camped on the South Coast of KZN still enjoying the last of the good weather. Now I realise why there are so many Vaalie swallows along the coast. The caravan parks and camp sites are full of old folks escaping the bitter Highveld winter and basking in the balmy warmth of the coast. Every […]
Blog update – 15 May 2013 – 29 May 2013
The trip from Underberg to Port Shepstone took us no more than about 3 hours, with a stop for lunch along the way, very pleasant. Quince was doing his usual ‘spaced out’ thing…even though I had dosed him well with Rescue Remedy. He managed to sneak into the front of the campervan and salivate all […]

Campervan Cooking – Baking Hamburger Buns(Roesterkoek) on a Cadac Safari Chef
I love the internet. It is an endless resource of useful information that is available just when you need it. That’s how I discovered this wonderful recipe for roesterkoek.

Campervan Cooking – Homely Hamburger
Hello again all you Campervan Cooking fans Well, we are in the last week of our stay in Underberg. So, it was just appropriate that our dish would contain beef, as this is, of course, beef country. What is more pleasurable than a homemade burger, on a homemade bun, with delicious chilli relish, also homemade… […]
Bullie Blog 17 April 2013 – 7 May 2013
On the morning of our departure for Coffee Bay, I began to get the shivers and my tail wouldn’t come out from between my legs. Gypsey on he other hand was ‘miss priss’, she couldn’t wait to go… had, had enough of Cintsa (grr typical female). I just couldn’t get my head and ears around […]
Blog Update – 22 April 2013
On Monday morning, John and I took a ride into Underberg to see what we could find about the Sani Pass and accommodation. We had decided to take a couple of days and head up the pass, perhaps stopping overnight at the top of the Pass. We found the Sani Mountain Lodge had a backpackers, […]

Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
