Today we are going to watch the surfers surf at J-bay.Once we had stayed there for 30 minutes,we left for Buffalo Bay. We went to one place but it was to far away from the sea.Then we went to another place which was right next to the sea.After setting up our campervan we went down to the Rocks and played there.Then we ate dinner and went to bed.

Our holiday: Day 7





We find three dogs wondering around our camping site.We went fishing in the river .Then it becomes to hot for us,so we decide to have a swim in the river.We also discover a huge patch of mud in witch my brother (nicknamed hippopotamus after this) went and covered himself in mud.After fishing(with biltong)  we went back to the campsite and ate dinner then went to bed.That was our last night with Ouma and Oupa.



















Our holiday: Day 6

We decide to rent hydro bikes (pedalos) for riding on the river.It  was great ! We went into the marina and came back out .Once we got back to the camping site,we packed up our things and set off once again, this time  we were heading for Yellowsands caravan park.Once we arrive ,we unpack and then go down to the beach.I don't want to get wet, so I try to build a fort stopping the water,but it wasn't working.Anyway we had dinner and then we played cards and after playing cards,went to bed.
