Hey guysI made the tour to the Bulshoek dam and it was awesome If you have the time you should do it We were on a beautiful camping site We went swimming fishing waterskiing wakeboarding tubing or just with the motorboat We all slept in our tents Breakfast lunch and dinner was made on the camp fire In the afternoon I often laid down in the Hammock to relax a bit and after that we played some football in the sand but you must be careful cause there are some sharp stones in the sand where you can cut your feet On the last evening we made poikie with chakalakka That meal was awesome I really loved it and it was a very good end of a very nice journeyNice greetings Henning
