π΅ Old Things π΅ Old things are better than new things, Old thing have so much stories in them. I would love to sit and listen to their stories, even if itβs a sad one. For Throwback Thursday I was looking for old photos. Then I thought to myself: βMyself, in the old photos you are y0ung! Post photos of the old you now!!!β π²ππ We found this old tractor 12 years ago right next to the road. It was at an entrance to a farm just south of Barkly East. One of the prettiest old things weβve ever discovered. I wonder if it is s...

πConquer the Mountainπ This was taken in the Seweweekpoort (Seven Weeks Pass) last year. It is absolutely amazingly beautiful there. There are various explanations as to the origin of the name. The length of time it took a commando to take a band of highwaymen into the Great Karoo. The time it took the authorities to catch a rustler who escaped into the poort. Or the time it took a gang of brandy smugglers to return from Beaufort West. Another on is that the poort was named after the Reverend Zerwick. The locals could not pronounce his n...

π Sunny Day π This was taken next to the road leading into "Die Hel", also known as Gamkaskloof. Gamkas means "Lion" in the Koisan languange and a kloof is a "valley" in Afrikaans. They call this place "The Hell" not because it is so warm, but because of the road. There are two stories about where the name "Die Hel" came from. One is because of the steep incline of the road. The Afrikaans word "helling" means steep incline. The other famous story is that an animal inspector named Piet Bot...

Don't let the small things wear your happiness away! This was taken 14 years ago in Cape Town. I still had small boobies then! We used to take lots of photos on railway lines in those days. We don't do that so often anymore. In any case, I also got caught on this railway bridge!! πππ (photo 3)

π SunSet π Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, Everyday can end beautifully. - Kristen Butler I might have mentioned it before, but sunset photos of me is my husband's nemesis. He just can't get a photo that he likes with a sunset in the background. As we came down the mountain, we saw this stunning sunset and he decided to try again! And boy did he try...and try...and try... He will take a photo, look at it, change settings on the camera. He will take a photo, look at it, change a setting on the flash. I just sat ...

VIDEO: π²Trying to make it rain Pine Needles!! π² Walking through the woods, I had this idea to make it rain "Pine Needles". We once did a photoshoot doing that with oak leaves. So I plotted and planned and eventually sprung it on my husband. I made him walk back to the truck to get the video camera! Once we started shooting I found out it is not that easy to make it rain "Pine Needles". Enjoy the video and have a laugh at my expense! πππ

π The End π On the last day we slept in a bit. We are light travellers, so we knew it would be fast to pack and hit the road. Just before 8am we were on the road. On the way home we reflect on the last few weeks... We had good times, we had more good times. Yes things happened along the way, but we always see the good time, even in bad times. I hurt my tail bone, I got scrapes, I bled, I got cold, I got wet and still I enjoyed every moment. It is the when life happens that we must enjoy and laugh at it. We had damage along the way bu...

π Day 22 π On the last full day of our epic trip, we woke early to beat the sun to our first photoshoot of the day: Forest Falls. But unfortunately the sun beat us there! By the time we got there we couldn't use the waterfall for any kind of decent photos. So we decided to come back in the afternoon. Just above Forest Falls is cascades that we did use for our first photoshoot of the day. After that we took a leisurely drive through the forest, discovered a small little waterfall and then found the best discovery of the day... For a ...

π Day 21 π After the party of the previous night and getting to bed late, we woke late in the morning. We stayed in camp and made breakfast before we decided to leave for town to search for presents for a upcoming birthday party. It is then that thing went wrong once againβ¦ We made sure everything is disconnected from the truck, but as we pulled away my husband saw the gazebo collapse π²! Getting out to inspect what happened, we saw that one of the poles of the gazebo was completely bend! What happened was that the gazebo got stuck ...

π Day 20 π Day 20 already? How time flies when you are having fun! We only have a few days left and then it is back to home. But while weβre still here relaxing in nature, we will enjoy every minute. So late in the morning we are off to town. We need some pills for my (still) sore tailbone, pick up the laundry and grab something to eat. But of course, our luck prevailed. The pharmacy was closed... The laundromat was closed... But we did got something to eat though. Yeah!! Happy days! After breakfast we did get the pharmacy open at l...

π Day 19 π We had a very bad night sleeping. Both of us was more awake than asleep. Me because my tailbone was still very sore, my husband because I kept on waking him with all my turning and fretting in bed. But eventually we got up to face another day, tired or not. After 18 days on the road, I eventually out of panties. So the first thing we did was take some laundry to a local laundromat. The second (can you believe it), most important thing to do was get the beer restocked. Once those chores was completed, we were on the road. We...

π Day 18 π It was a lazy, boobtube, no make-up, barefoot kind of day. My husband made us a lovely breakfast and eventually I did the dishes. For the rest of the day, we enjoyed each others company, played games and listened to music in the shade of a lovely old pine tree. Focus on what brings you joy and one day it will eventually lead you to your happiness. - Roger Lee Have a great Monday everyone! ππππππππππ

π Day 17 π We were early out of bed. We had to pack up the camp and get the front tire fixed. We were also moving camp, so everything had to be packed away. Because the leak was on the sidewall of the tire, we feared that we might have to buy a new tire π². We arrived with the doors still closed and had to wait a few minutes. After explaining the problem, they got to work on the tire. We sat and waited for the bad newsβ¦itβs always bad news for us! As you might have noticed on this trip, our luck is only bad luckβ¦π π After a...

π Day 16 π After the long previous day, we were exhausted and slept very well. We woke up rested and refreshed and ready for another day of adventure. And boy, did we have an adventure again. The first ruin we wanted to take photos at, was so overgrown we couldnβt get close to it. So we had to move on to the next set of ruins. Here we had a great time and took lots of photos. So far the day was going well indeed. The third set of ruins was also completely overgrown so we settled for a small waterfall that was close to us. We spend a ...
