Looking for beaver?

Well now, life can’t get much better than three day weeks and four day week-ends can it? Feeling the need to get out of town, we found ourselves up in the Groot Winterhoek on a little known farm called Grootfontein. My donder!, die fontein was baie massief after the rain received before and during the week-end.

We took the bargain option of a little hut; the beer and braaihout was cheap, but hot water showers very scarce. Despite this the boys didn’t have THAT much more fun than the girls. Between all the rain a few excursions were made, and it really is an amazing spot right on our doorstep.


The judges were undecided between the Paarl Chophouse steak-out, the Swartpot Penne Veronese and Noordwes skaappotjie. We really did eat ourselves silly, and even found the time for some light reading on the john.



Due to logistical reasons (ie. Not having a big-ass 4x4 bakkie) the river rafts and wetsuits were left at home, so bumsliding was the only option.
