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.

  • 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

  • Vleisstaat Padstal

    January 3 in South Africa ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Baie duur vleis. Baie duur.
    Interessante winkel. Smoked cheddar... Sounds good...

  • Ons eerste Kleinmond stap

    January 1 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Hier is 'n wandelpad vanaf die karavaanpark, onderdeur die pad, tussen die riete en fynbos deur, tot op die strand. Van daar het ons strandlangs gestap, tot verby die swemstrand, en verder tot by die rotse. Omgedraai en terug gestap. Meer as 5000 treë. Dit was 'n stywe maar baie mooi stappie.Read more
