Back in-land

After spending three days at the beach in windy weather, we decided that we're not really beach-bums and prefer the bush. So we packed up and headed back in-land.
We camped for a night in a place called Klein Pella.
WOW!! A date farm in the middle of the desert...
As you keep driving through the farm, more and more date trees and vineyards keep appearing. Its a fantastic place.

We camped here right on the river. We were the only ones camping there.
Check out these huge thorns Reinier found on the ground. Pretty nasty hey!
Digging for worms...to go...FISHING!!

In the end, brown bread worked!! He caught a few ugly Barbers. They are like cockroaches in the water and will eat almost anything that smells rotten enough. But they are fun to catch, and put up a good fight.
Auugghhh!! I got out of bed for a drink of water, and spotted this on the ground. I've never leapt so far and fast onto a camping chair in my life. I think its a Red Roman, a type of insect...but i think he has EIGHT legs, and not SIX??
early morning swim
Eating out for breakfast on the farm. There was so much food just for us two!


Karsten Farms has quite few farms. Everything looks so organised and tidy, I'm sure they are quite well-off!!
