Long Term Camping

On the 13th of May 2025, we changed our way of living and made our caravan our house. We are touring South Africa while working remotely.
This trip is our travel tracker. Eventually it will show us where in South Africa we have been.

  • Cape 1000

    March 19 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    The Cape 1000 is an annual South African luxury road rally that showcases classic, modern, and exotic cars on a multi-day driving tour through the Western Cape. Inspired by the legendary Mille Miglia, the event emphasizes scenic driving, camaraderie, and automotive heritage rather than competitive racing.
    This morning they came past the caravan park.

  • Date night in the middle of the week.

    March 18 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Bought a large chips at Fishies and went to sit on the rocks close to the tidal pool. And my unopened bottle of Coke rolled down. ☹️
    That yellow dot in the water? That's my coke. Pfffft. Now I have contributed to the ocean pollution. Hopefully somebody will find it and be able to take it out.
    Then we left and found a bench. And sat there until it was dark.

  • Carry me Home

    March 15 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We cleaned this morning. It is hot. So hot. So we decided to go have lunch somewhere. Tried this restaurant we have not been to yet.
    I forgot to take a photo of the desert.
    Oh my word. I have to take a nap now.Read more

  • PJG Nature Reserve

    March 14 in South Africa ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    No. Just no. These are the only photos I will show. This is not a caravan park. It is a squatter camp.

  • Kuier met die van Niekerk hartsmense

    March 8 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Ons wou gaan piekniek maar die wind was wild. Toe kuier ons op Pierre en Pauli se dek. En daarna? Roomys by Davies' Pool.

  • Kaapse Fisant

    February 20 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Hierdie outjies is so mak. Een heel demanding ook! Gister het een my tone kom pik toe daar nie meer saad op die gras was nie. Ek moes maar opstaan en 'n handvol gooi. Vanoggend het Dries sy hand uit gehou en wraggies, hy eet uit Dries se hand uit.Read more

  • Ontbyt in Hermanus

    February 15 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Vanoggend se ontbyt was eenvoudig, anders, en ongelooflik lekker. Dries het ciabatta toast bestel met tuisgemaakte vissmeer. Myne was sourdough toast met marmelade en kaas.
    En toe shop ons maar so bietjie by die plek. Ons is met twee brode ook nog daar uit. Daar is sekerlik goeie rede dat Jesus na homself verwys het as die brood van die lewe. Brood is seker die mees comforting kos.
    Die stoeltjies lyk soos interlocking crochet.

  • Kabeljoe's

    January 23 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Our 17th first date anniversary. So dinner at Kabeljoe's seemed in order. Suffice it to say that my jeans are undone. I am sooooo full!

  • Elgin Railway Market

    January 4 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    This place has a serious vibe! We left with Oupa sandals for Ouma 😂, a hat for Oupa, Cruiser first aid (tp) and gin. I could not choose which bottle I wanted, so instead we bought a collection of minis. Once I know what I want, we will go back for a big bottle.
    Many moons ago, I would have bought a salt and pepper set. Maybe even more than one. I used to be a collector and had nearly 300 sets when I decided to sell them all.
    The train from Cape Town came while we were there. What a sight!

  • Peregrine Farm Stall

    January 4 in South Africa ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    This farm stall received the award for the best farm stall in SA, in 2023, 2024, and 2025. This place is so busy and quite expensive too. Breakfast was nice though. Four venison pies came home with us. For those days when nobody feels like cooking.Read more
