Cremorne Caravan Park

Mom dragged me out of our luxurious accommodation to go and take some sunrise photographs. The moisture in the morning air was nothing like what we had arrived with. The scenery here is mind blowing. I cant express it any more than this … you have to visit this place to experience this place. It is absolutely awesome. This particulate accommodation is right on the sea and wave edge. The waves are breaking over the rocks right in front of the door. You can feel the spray coming off the waves.
After packing up our very expensive accommodation…. Tent pitched in run down rondaval…. No windows, no hot water, no electricity, we left for Port St Johns. I was very sad to leave here as I would love to have had some time to explore the area.
It was at this point that I realised that I had taken the wrong road to reach the light house. I should have gone to Mzikhaba, but this was the best that I could do under these circumstances. I will return to grab this image of this lighthouse at a later stage.
Here I have waded through calf muscle deep water to see if my bakkie will make it, waded through calf muscle deep water to photograph water lilies in a nature reserve. This is a first. I had no idea that they grew out in the wild. Time to head for Port St Johns.
There was not much to write home about with this leg of the drive. Pretty landscape scenery with little thatch huts dotted all around. What a serene landscapes. I would be happy to live here.
We headed for Port St Johns. Came across a n interesting sign advertising a Spar shop …. “Only 133 bends to go”. At the half way point we came across another sign saying “You are half way there …. Only 68 bends to go” We counted the bends and believe it or not, these people can count.
Arrived at the main bridge and turned left to Port St Johns. We went through to find the Tourist information center where we found an amazing Caravan Resort … Cremorne Caravan and resort. I highly recommend this place. I managed to organise a camping space for 2 pensioners as I have a fair amount of grey hair and they agreed that I could be a pensioner for the day.
We went looking for the Port St Johns lighthouse, but gave up due to evening lights descending on us. Went and pitched tent and enjoyed the sunset at the park.
