Witsand 2013

Braai Time

Witsand for us is a most special place so deciding on where to spend the New Year was not hard.  Travelled through to Kimberley and stayed at the Protea Lodge again.  Nick and Reece had not been to the Big Hole yet so they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Kimberly in December is hot as hell so had a good time lying around next to the pool before tackling the long road to Witsand.

A big part of the attraction of Witsand is the dune surfing.  While Neville and I relaxed around the chalet, Reece and Nick climbed the dunes, waxed their dune boards and explored on bicycles.  Neville and I did little more than read books, swim and illegally feed the local wildlife :)  You know me ... rebel :)! 

Our neighbour told us that he saw a wild cat in he's camp, it was a massive beast about to eat he's younger son, so we were quite anxious to see this wild beast in camp, we left our lasagne after supper and out crept the most adorable little Civet.  Hardly the monstrosity we were expecting but rather a very stealthy adorable camp guest.

Cannot wait to go back
