Winterdodgers Day 1

We woke up at 6am to an excruciatingly hot sun. Even Pete said it was angry so it must have been bad.
By 7am we were all up wringing wet with sweat. The heat and humidity was almost unbearable and Pete suggested we had a beach day so at 8:30am we all piled in one of Pete’s many land rovers and we took the sandy 4x4 tracks to 9 mile beach. The road getting there was absolutely insane, with deep sand, boggy puddles and thick bush to push through. Pete is still the best driver I know.
We spent 2 hours at 9 mile beach with myself and Pete bobbing up and down in the breakers, Ellie sat in a rock pool and Steve, Marco and Ludvig stayed at the clapped out landrover drinking beer before we decided to head back. The landrover we were in had only 2 seats. Pete was driving and Ellie was riding shotgun. It was a 1973 model, older than me and Pete but the kicker was it had a 1957 4.2litre Buick engine in. It sounded like a Spitfire and drove over everything nature could throw at it like a tractor.
Back at Winterdodgers we had watermelon and pineapple for lunch followed by beer and we spent the rest of the day all together exchanging stories and drinking.
At 5pm we decided to head out to Sodwana Bay and the get some food at the restaurant called the tree. Pete and I ordered the Eisbein and finally it was edible.
By the time we got back home it was 8pm and everyone was ready for bed so we all went our seperste ways and as Ellie and I were about to get into the trailer, Come here came running by to say goodnight. He’s a funny thing.Read more
