Many of you thought I had forgotten… or didn’t want to blog anymore, or didn’t care WRONG, WRONG, WRONG….just been a bit lazy lately with so much happening in our lives. Shoo’ time does go by so quickly. Our last week in Knysna was cooler so we were able to do a bit of sightseeing […]
25 January 2014 – 11 February 2014
Still in Knysna….wow has it been hot. Quince and Gypsey have been a little stressed with this heat, so much so, that John and I have adopted a ‘deck’ which is attached to a caravan, next door to where we are camping at Monks. At least during the day, it is cooler and bearable not […]

So, you probably have read our accommodation rating on Clarens Inn and Backpackers….the only plus was that we had a lovely couple of walks with the dogs into Clarens Village. The rustic, old world charm I remember of Clarens has disappeared. The sleepy village we once knew 30 years ago has been replaced with a […]
Clarens – Bergwoning at Kiara Lodge
Just before I rate the above caravan park. On arrival in Clarens, we had actually booked to stay at the Clarens Inn and Backpackers which is right in the centre of town. On arrival, I was met by Nicci, I presume is the Managerss of the Backpackers. She walked me to the only caravan/campervan site […]
Country Park – Muldersdrift, Gauteng
Country Park in Gauteng offers not only camping, permanent or semi permanent homes but also bed and breakfast. We chose Country Park as it was the only and closest caravan park we could get to Fourways and the family. The roads to Country Park are in shocking condition, but then I did experience this as […]
Camping in the Kruger National Park (South to North)
Berg-en-dal – Skukuza – Letaba – Shingwedzi – Punda Maria Just some history….my last visit to the Kruger was in 2001 (Christmas). Although we didn’t travel between the camps, but stayed at Mopani Camp for the duration of our stay, I still remember with pride the way Kruger was then…….tidy, clean, staff visible and very […]

Owner run by Raymond and ably assisted by Heila and Erica (front office), this beautiful caravan park offers boma, braai area, pub (in season), hot rock pool […]

Surprised, yes…who was Alfred, we hadn’t organised a cab, thought John’s sister was fetching us LOL. Anyway as it turned out, Alfred […]
Trip Blog – still in Kiwiland 27 November 2013 – 5 December 2013
With heavy hearts, we are about to bit New Zealand, our family and new friends farewell….till we meet again. BUT before we do that, still some blog to finalise. I forgot to mention in my recent post, our trip to the gannet colony. I can’t remember ever seeing a gannet before. What amazing birds. They […]
Trip Blog from 11 November – 27 November 2013
Hello from Murrays Bay, Auckland, New Zealand and our first morning with stunning weather. John, Mom and I decided to take a walk along the boardwalk into the village of Meirangi Bay. The coves around this area are very sheltered so the waves are small and the sea is calm and quiet. However when they […]
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 […]
