Buccaneers Campsite, Cintsa

We were staying at Buccaneers campsite, accessed down a very bumpy track, and, once through the gates, a very steep hill to get to our pitch. We had to go to reception to check in. By the time we’d walked down to where the truck was, Ernest had put our tents up for us, and Ivan had got the dinner on! We made our bed up and went to help in the kitchen.

We had chicken cooked on the braii with rice, corn on the cob, and salad. Just as we were about to sit down for dinner, load shedding kicked in so we ate by the light of our head torches. After dinner, we stood around the fire, but there wasn’t much heat in it as the wood was damp. The temperature plummeted and we were really cold, so we decided to go to bed. What followed was probably the coldest night of my life!! I just could not stay warm! Needless to say, we didn’t have much sleep!

Oh, and cows wander freely through the camp! One gave me quite a scare in the middle of the night! 😀Read more
