Camping and Fishing

Holidays by the sea during winter sound crazy in colder regions. Here in KwaZulu-Natal, summer holidays often mean torrential rain, not the best weather for camping in rustic tents! Winter, on the other hand, is the best time of the year around here. Very little chance of being rained out, warm sunny days with no extreme summer humidity, plus the best sunrises on the east coast of Africa, the best time of the year for camping holidays!

My photos are packed in boxes, but I had scanned some older ones for family; none had any photos of our childhood holidays.
Fortunately, hubby also loved the sea and fishing, so we started going on camping holidays with my parents, who had a caravan at the time. In this old photo, my son is standing in front of our old tour-away (fold-up 'caravan').
The second image was also taken many years ago on a family camping holiday on the south coast, our favourite destination. It is my Dad and I with my two nephews, both now adults in their thirties.
