Updates and info from on the ground during our 11 week and 5 week Experiences in South Africa
After two days and nights of constant rain, everyone started to become quite accustomed to the way of things, even the ones who are not natural born campers (like myself) found a routine in getting into the shower wet, coming out wet and then remaining wet for the rest of the day! However on day three we were all pleasantly surprised to wake up in a blanket of our own sweat, because however uncomfortable it was we knew that outside our tents the sun was beating down on us! This was very exciting and we were all desperate to explore the beach bellow that had been hidden by a thick grey mist for the past three days. The girls headed down to the beach early to top up their tans, followed by the excitable surfers dying to christen their new surfboards. All was very well and everyone seemed to forget about the last two days of bad weather until suddenly the sun vanished and left us with the same familiar grey overcast sky that we had got so used to! However after munching on some yummy toasties made on the braai we regained our optimism and headed down to the beach to take refuge in a cave and swim in the sea. Nothing beats swimming in the rain! Josh and Pip managed to climb across the rocks with provisions to light a fire so we all sat around singing and dancing, managing to forget the weather outside our little den! Annie and myself went back to camp just as the rain was at full pelt and got trapped in out tents by a puddle which looked more like a lake surrounding our entrance! However it was a safe place to watch the mud fight from which Pip and the boys started! In the evening the rain finally stopped and we managed to get the braai going again with boerewors, peppers, corn on the cob and marrows to look forward to. It was a very chilled evening where we all sat round drinking and telling jokes (Georgia defiantly being crowned queen of jokes). It was a very relaxed evening to end our wet but spontaneous four days at Victoria Bay.
Till next time,
Liv
