Been awhile since I visited this page, but I do have news, the camper is finally on the road, not yet complete, but 99% so and will get to the finishing touches this week.
We took her out on the road for a weekend to see how she would run with her new 2.2 Toyota Y engine, also to figure out just what to pack and what to leave, with space to spare the tendency is to pack her to the rafters, but this will make her sluggish so the secret is to know what I will use and what I will never use - or more likely what I can actually do without, hard decisions.
I guess I have to start with the dogs, all 4 of them, I was going to put the older ones down but don't have the heart to, so we travel with Lani Lani the drag queen, Slick the limper, Josephine the crock with her 4 wooden legs and Pepi the greyhound.
So, we found ourselves at Bernally's, a new fishing venue, we were the first over nighters as the place is not yet finished, so we had to use buckets to flush the loos, shower under the stars with the outdoors shower, great fun, and had the owners in and out offering all manners of helping hands, wood, braai grills etc... they were a great pare, both missing a leg due to some mishap, they had about 8 dogs, two of them trundling around on 3 legs, Ruth, Lorraine and Cami-Leigh and Ruth's dog Clover, made up our group for the weekend and a lot of fun was had, not a great place for hiking but as we had the place to ourselves, this was no hardship, we used the lapa next to the future bar as our sleeping spot, we did get a bit of rain so it was great not to have to pack everything into the camper to avoid it getting wet, a place I will recommend to anyone with a wonderful couple as your hosts, Bernard and Ally.
