We had made arrangments with our friend Greg to stay over at his farm in Knysna, and it was really great that he could manage to fly up to George for the night and stay over with us. His farm is a stunning piece of land right on the edge of the State Forest, with no facilities at all, so it seemed the perfect place to camp out in Max. We arrived and after driving through and over some of the overgrown bush we found a perfect spot and then took a walk through some more bush down to the stream on the border of his farm. Greg hadn't had much chance this year to get to his farm, and we've spent a few days with him there before so it was a really special day for us all. We remembered taking Kaylin with us one weekend when she was 6months old and enjoying a picnic down at the stream. This time we had to stop the kids from exploring too deep into the forest! They loved it. Xan later enjoyed collecting firewood around the area for our bush campfire. It was rough, overgrown & isolated..... but it's Greg's farm, and we loved it! Thanks Greg for flying up especially for us.
We then headed up towards Cape St Francis. We found a place to camp at the Cape St Francis Resort. Not great camping, but there was a great swimming pool which was perfect. We enjoyed the facilities, camped for one night, and then headed here to Jeffrey's Bay.
We have camped here before, but not over the Dec holiday season, so we were happy to find that we could get one of their last seafront sites. So here we sit, huddled in our cozy Max while the weather outside is less than perfect - fresh sea wind, and not a surfer in site.
Despite the wind and overcast weather, we have enjoyed our stay here. The kids don't seem to notice the weather and we went for a long walk along the beach down into town. It doesn't look like the weather will be getting any better tomorrow, so we'll be leaving JBay and heading north again. Not sure where we'll stop, but we'll blog again in a few days I'm sure.
