Day 31 - Morgan Bay/WildCoast

Happy Easter🐰 to ALL 8 of our regular "Trampers"!

Kick-off was delayed this morning by last nights accurate weather prediction of a dank and miserable start to the day which extended to right now at 20h00.... and more is still on the cards for tomorrow😖

We were scheduled to run up to the cliffside viewpoint but looking up at it from down here earlier, looks suicidal! A scene from The Game of Thrones or The Hobbit .... so we didn't!

What did have a ring to it, was lunch and beer at the Kei Mouth Golf Club with Ray (my High School and Army mate) and his wife Liz, who we met last week at 'White Clay'. That will have to suffice as our regular 'Friday Date Night' because, as we speak its coffee in bed already😖

So the question needs to be asked and answered? Why does Battered Calamari taste better down here at the coast than it does Inland? Even if it is derived from the same I&J frozen packet, caught out at sea by some mangy chinese fisherman?🤷🏻‍♂️

I suppose it's the same as Kudu Droëwors is more delicious in the Northern Transvaal, than it does in Mosselbay for example? Whatever!

Did we need to choose the wettest Summer in living memory to embark on this journey? In April, winter pyjamas on the South Coast? To swim in Cuppachino flavoured waves in the 'Transkei' and to lay in bed all day in a 4X4 caravan? 4X4 as in 4m X 4m and then rain, rain, and more rain! In addition to which, with a 'chick' who talks incessantly from dawn to dawn, sometimes without even taking a breath?

(Just joking🍯!!!)

It's been many years since I last had a beer in bed🍻 The struggle, I hear, is real!!!

Love, Peace and Light
M&K
