Traveling towards the Groen River Mouth…
After a few days of camping and exploring along the coast, we were back on route…. It was hot and Bruno & Junior (our two four-legged children) drank much more water then we thought they would. We only had enough water for 2 days. We had to stay on track in case we had to go through…
