Trip Blog from 2 October 2013 to 6 November 2013

Hello mates, its the Wandering Nomads here again….STILL DOWNUNDER but not for much longer. Since I last blogged, a month has passed, shoo’ time certainly does go quickly when having loads of fun. John and I spent a beautiful evening under a starlit sky at Macquaries, just the other side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, […]

Blog update 10 September – 14 September 2013 DOWNUNDER MATE

So, last time we were climbing aboard our airplane bound for Sydney, Australia, hence the DOWNUNDER MATE…lol.   We arrived, I think very quickly, but then remembered there was an 8 hour time difference.   Customs was a breeze as we had nothing to declare, then spent a while waiting for Nick to collect us.   Apparently there […]

Battlefields Caravan Park – Dundee

Battlefields Caravan Park – Dundee

Battlefields Caravan Park is situated on a working farm about 10kms outside the town of Dundee.  After Kwa-Rie we needed to find an alternative caravan park/campsite close to Dundee as it was already dark by the time we had decided to move on.  Luckily for us Battlefields accommodated us and our dogs.  Owned by the […]

Blog update 19 August – 10 September 2013

Last time I blogged, we had just concluded our trip at the Kruger Park.   John and I were on our way back from Pinda Gate to Nelspruit.  We decided to stay at Natures Gate again, for one night, after picking up the dogs from Palipa Ranch, as it was quite late.  We also decided to […]

Blog update 19 July 2013 – 18 August 2013

Hello again folks.   I have been moaned at by several people as to why I haven’t been blogging lately, well part of that reason is that we have been in the Kruger Park as I mentioned in my last blog and we have had internet issues.   So since I last blogged, we have done full […]

Blog udate 1 July 2013 – 19 July 2013

I was subtely reminded yesterday by my great friend and bull mastiff lover Sylvia Shorter, why I hadn’t updated our blog lately.   So, with knuckles rapped and flushed cheeks, here is our update LOL. We arrived at Sabie River Camp, about 2kms from Sabie Centre on the 1 July 2013.   Wow, what an awesome caravan […]

Kwa-Rie Caravan Park – Dundee

Kwa-Rie Caravan Park – Dundee

Although we only spent about half an hour in this park, I would like to write a little review on it.  We didn’t stay here as we felt it wasn’t what we were wanting especially with our dogs.  Too much wildlife running free,  which made it difficult to contain the dogs.  Kwa-Rie is just outside […]

Xaxaza Caravan Park – Mtunzini

Xaxaza Caravan Park  – Mtunzini

Xaxaza Caravan Park situated in the suburb of Mtunzini, about 50kms from Richards Bay is run by Noel and Merle Muller.  The caravan sites are grassed and some have their own abultion facility.  The general feeling of this park was ‘old and tired’.   The owners were often not available and the staff generally were on […]

Well, it has been a while and lots has happened since I blogged last.  After a couple more days at Xaxaza Caravan Park in Mtunzini, we decided to push on to Dundee.  The idea was to stay a month, then make our way up to Nelspruit to kennel our dogs and head for Kruger.   Plans, […]

ACTIVITIES

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 […]
