Morgan's Bay, EC - April 2012 en route.

Stopped over at Reyneke's Caravan Park, Bloemfontein on way down. Own 'blute and really caters for overnight stop 'n go. Lot of rain on way down but became very sporadic and light once we were in park.
Set off for Morgan's Bay at around 9 for an approx 600km journey ahead. Estimated we'd arrive at around 3/4ish. Yeah, right! Major roadworks and delays on terrible roads (?); rain accompanying us the whole journey; gps taking us on a "tar road" which turned out to be a dirt road which we could not navigate with our caravans. "Road" washed away, deep sluices, wow - quite exciting. After about 3km we couldn't go further so had to unhitch vans in order to turn around.



If we'd stayed on the main tar road for another 13 kms, the road to Morgan's Bay is a beautiful tar road - a highway by comparison!
Upshot of our little adventure is that we arrived at camp in the dark (& wet)! Mother Nature was kind to us, yet again! The rain let up and, although ground was somewhat mushy & muddy, we were able to set up.
Camp surroundings are beautiful with loads of birdlife. Once it all dries out, it'll be brilliant. 'Blutes are quaint!!!!






Sun is trying to peep through.
