We woke up in JBay to another very wet day......
We packed up a very wet camp, while the kids decided to decorate their room with all their 'rainy-day' artwork....
And then we headed north hoping we could find some sunshine. Unfortunately the rain got harder and the mist heavier. We stopped at a Mall in East London for an early supper and then headed on towards Morgans Bay. We arrived just after dark so we didn't get to see the surrounding beauty, but after finding a campsite and sloshing in the mud to the spot where the trees weren't so thick, we all had a good sleep. We then woke this morning to SUNSHINE!!!! And more surprises...... this place is stunning!!! The campsite we picked in the dark is called Yellowwood Park, and it's in a Forest! Xan enjoyed riding his bike around the campsite, finding every possible mud puddle there is. There's a great big JungleGym and kids area by the campsite outdoor restaurant that serves the most amazing vegetarian pizza's. There are rabbits & ducks, and if we were all a whole lot shorter I'd think I was living in a CS Lewis Story!!!!
We enjoyed a long morning on the Beach, and then took a full 5 minutes driving around the tiny town to the one small shop to buy some things for lunch. We enjoyed a picnic on a hill near the topshop, which felt like a set from the 'TellyTubbies'. (It's Laura writing this Blog Post, not Alex, in case you were worried about his TV viewing choices...)
We got back to the campsite and did some laundry while the sun was shining brightly & then went and enjoyed a pizza at the restaurant while the kids played.
I really like this place, but we feel like moving on and seeing what other great places this Wild Coast has to offer us. Tomorrow we'll discover Coffee Bay maybe......
