Blog Update – 15 – 18 January 2013
We left Willows early, bound for ADDO, but first having to drop the dogs off at Audrey. It had been raining the night before so the ground was boggy and marshy. John drove the campervan into the kennel parking lot but now, this was the million dollar question, how was he going to get out […]
Blog Update – 14 January 2013
Arrived at Willows and were welcomed like old friends…dogs were treated like royalty, they even had their own permits LOL. That day, I spent searching and researching kennels. Also asked a few locals….looked like it was going to be ‘Inn Good Hands’ that won ‘handsdown’, excuse the pun hahaha. I called Audrey who owns Inn […]
BARF for two Bullies
I was lucky enough to find a supplier of Dogmatters in Gonubie, so stocked up to the hilt before we left East London, bound for Port Alfred, however, John decided we need to keep our Dogmatters in case we are not able to find more for a while and attempt at making our own BARF. […]
Have no expectations, no plans, no further thoughts than todays thoughts.
I think in a nutshell, my headline says it all. I find it pointless planning anything further than today, because it might never happen. Look what happened when our campervan decided to collapse. We had planned leaving that morning, driving to Grahamstown, then onto Port Alfred. Hehehehe, the story never happened like that at all, […]
NATURES REST – EAST LONDON
Natures Rest is exactly what the name implies……restful, in nature, sea close by, birds in abundance and a river running through it. About 20 minutes from the centre of East London, turning off the main road towards Cove Ridge, down a little further, like 800 metres, lies Natures Rest offering camping, caravanning as well […]
Blog Update – 4 January 2013 – 7 January 2013
Natures Rest is exactly as it says – in Nature and Restful. We found a really nice site, other than one other campervan, we were the only residents. Our van faced the river and a sheer rock face. A willow tree sported a host of male weavers getting their nests ready so as to invite […]
Blog Update – 7 January – 14 January 2013
We left Natures Rest, after breakfast. So far,so good, with the campervan. The leafsprings that Fiat had installed to lift the van, were working a treat. Yay, so now we could attempt to travel a little further. We had made a booking, just the day before at Green Fountain Farm Resort, about 6kms from Port […]
Blog Update – 25 December 2012 – 3 January 2013
Christmas Day dawned and we huddled in bed, it was very misty and cold, it had also rained the night before so everything was damp. We had planned to have an early afternoon lunch of gammon, salad and fried potatoes (good old German meal). It was the easiest and quickest for two of us. John […]
Hobbiton… no… Hobshobbit… no… Middle Earth… YES now we talking…
I just had to share our recent experience…OMG…it was just soooooo funny Hogsback, although small, has lots of interesting roads that lead to ……….well we were soon to find out. We had consulted with our GPS first, it told us down this dirt road, led to a forest, we wanted to take the dogs for […]
SWALLOWTAIL HOLIDAY RESORT – HOGSBACK EASTERN CAPE
Swallowtail run by Fritz and Ansie is on about 1.2 hectares of lush green grass. Fritz and Ansie live on the property but have divided their home in two. One side is self catering and sleeps up to 10 people. The garden has been allocated to campers and caravaners with electrical points in various locations […]
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 […]
