• Day 33 - Morgan Bay

    17 april 2022, Zuid-Afrika ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    For a few days now since arriving, we have tried to drive the track from Morgan's to 'Double Mouth', but rain washed out play, practically every day. Today instead of a run, we drove there and visited the enormous cliffs diving right down into the water, 100m below, with monster waves crashing up all of 20m high! So awesome!

    We drove right into the Reserve and only wanted to take a 20min walk around to see the campsite. At the office the guy now sitting inside a battered and filthy 'EC Parks and Tourism' Bakkie, eating fistfuls out of a loaf of white bread, mouth full and blaring 'music' on the car radio, told Karen R45 each! The sign board at the entrance, though (scratched out), clearly advises R25.00 p/p😖!! Inflation is a Mother!!!

    This stunning scenery was totally destroyed by his attitude, not to mention the unofficial 'Yoeman of the Guard' opening/closing the gate across the road! The look this 'little shit' gave Karen in response to the R2 she gave him for so competently completing this strenuous task! How did we spoil these kids fifty years ago, by throwing suckers out of the car window, which we should never have done! Such colonial bastards, and so demeaning! Apart from the inflation from 1 sucker to R2.00 nothing has changed! Quite right, it is still demeaning to all of us, to hand out R2.00 for fuck-all!!! Never again will we be so generous, as to pay for nothing! When it was bucketing with rain a few days ago, Yoeman had vanished!😖 Such a fair-weather child😖!!!

    We lunched with Ray and Liz, a serious braai'ed NTVL Rump, a delicious salad and baby spuds, Pickled Oyster Mushrooms and a cold 'Ratatouille' The afternoon faded as we pushed the last Tipsy Tart in and down, with our thumbs!

    Thank you so much to Ria, Theunis, Liz and Ray, for showing too much generosity and compassion, to the ‘Homeless’😉👍🏻😂

    After much deliberation we will be moving out in the morning, to just a few bays down the coast, in the direction of East London. 'Yellow Sands'.

    Good night!

    Love, Peace and Light
