Our Last Camp Day

I was up at 6:30am. It was windy and still quite chilly and it stayed that way until Ellie got up at 8sm and the sun decided to make an appearance over the top of the mountains.
We had a very busy day ahead of us cleaning and making sure we were fit to travel and Ghost and the Gnu were ready for storage.
After a quick shower everything came out of the back of the car. We threw left over food away and put what we wanted to take home in the cases. We thought they would be empty but they are actually close to there weight limit with tins of Braai relish and rusks.
Then we had to sort our clothes out completely emptying the caravan and putting our clothes into one of the ammo boxes we brought at the beginning of the trip.
Next I had to wash the inside of the boot space because it was filthy. Once that was dry I could gradually start putting things back in.
Once the back of the car was done I then had to clean the inside of the car and before I knew it, it was 1:30pm and we hadn’t eaten anything. Now everything was clean we wandered down the memory coastal path to a little sea side shack and had a beer a loaded fries. By the time we got back it was 3pm. I felt like we had waisted a day but everything was clean and it needed doing.
At 4:30pm I lit the Braai for the last time. Our £12 Braai has done us so well and we are going to box it up ready for the next trip but I half expect it will just be rust flakes when we return. We had our last Wors with Relish on rice. I’m going to miss cooking on an open fire and most of all we are going to miss the simplicity of campsite living. Our caravan and car have served us well and done us proud. We think we made a good decision in buying them.
After dinner we sat outside for the last time until it got dark watching the stars come out. Then we went in to watch TV and spend our final night in our caravan.Read more
