Ebb & Flow Day one

We were up at 6am and leaving Storms River at 8:30am. It was grey and overcast again and we were praying the sun would come out as we had decided to go off grid for our next campsite, although when we arrived our battery would be full from the drive.
We arrived at Ebb & Flow camp at 11:30am. This is another Sanparks location and there are 2 parts to this camp. North and South. We had been told about this campsite by a couple at Zebra Mountain and they had advised us which side to camp but we couldn’t remember so booked the north side as this was furthest from any main roads. We booked a pitch with no power and no view but we actually got really lucky and managed to get a very private pitch at the far end of the north site and we have our own private path down to the river. There was also another Echo Chobe caravan here exactly the same as ours.
We pitched up, got the solar panels out but the sun never really came out atall.
The site is unbelievably quiet. We really feel like we are in a beautiful nature spot. There’s no traffic sounds, just the sounds of the birds, trees and river.
Later on in the afternoon the people who had the same caravan as ours came over and we got talking. There caravan was a 2016 model, 2 years older than ours and they showed us all there modifications. Then they told us about a guy in Cape Town that they use to do trailer servicing which was handy and we exchanged phone numbers.
By the time we had finished talking it was 6pm and I lit the fire for a Braai just as the heavens opened. It got very wet and cold very quickly and as soon as dinner was done we got changed and jumped in the caravan to watch tv.Read more
