• Our Penultimate Camp Day

    March 24 in South Africa ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    We were up at 7am after a good nights sleep. The camp was much quieter this morning, no kids rushing around on bikes, the playground was empty and best of all the toilets were clean with no queues.
    At 10am we decided not to move camp as it seemed quite a waste of a day packing, driving and then setting up and Ellie went and booked us in until Wednesday so this is now our final camp and today is our penultimate camp day.
    After booking the extra days we drove out to the super spar to get 2 nights meals and some rusks to bring home, we chose borwors for both nights meals. Then we popped into a DIY shop and brought some M8 nuts to fix our gas cupboard doors and then it was back to camp.
    I set to work straight away hanging the doors straight and then replacing missing bolts. Now both cupboard doors work perfectly and also lock with the security lock. I then wound out both of the support legs and greased them up before putting them back. These are messy little jobs I don’t want to be doing tomorrow or Wednesday. After that I went for a 20 minute nana nap while Eliie went for a walk. When she came back I got up and she went for a lay down.
    We left camp again at 2:15pm and drove 3 miles down the road to the whale coast mall where chequers is. We had noticed a cinema here yesterday and we brought 2 tickets, some popcorn and a coke for £10 to see the new live action Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. We got to pick our seats so we sat 6 rows back in the middle. In total there were six of us in the whole cinema, it was pretty good but the air con was freezing.
    When we got out of the cinema we drove straight home, it was now 5:30pm so I lit the Braai. We had the first of our Wors with the last of the potatoes. It was a good Penultimate Braai.
