J-Bay & Homecoming

J-bay was literally a blast – quite a bit of wind, but at least some of it was offshore, and in the 2 weeks we camped there, we moved around inside the municipal campsite for wind shelter.

Had delightful times with Muzz ( Murray) & Mich, much of it in the water – Muzz’s surfing has taken off, and he sez howzit to all!

He entrusted his congregation to us one Sunday where we led worship and taught – that week in Hennie’s home (kitted-out garage as the hall was unavailable).
They are a great bunch of believers, and the following week we also joined them in their regular venue, Newton Hall.


Of the surfing highlights was riding Seal Point beachbreak together, (me above) and one morning Muzz & I hit a 5am empty lineup at Supertubes just to be joined by a chuckling Andrew Selley from Josh Gen!
Hitting the road again, our last stop was at Vic Bay, a week with our friends Gareth & Lyn – Gareth’s the restaurateur at the ‘Blue Olive’ in Wilderness, great Mediteranean cuisine – don’t pass it by!

Trying to sneak in home was to no avail, as we pulled in at Bloubergstrand for a posed homecoming photo, Harold the ardent blog follower spotted us – and took this photo.

If at any time you cannot find Les & Sharon – check out this blog – it’s not called les & sharon’s travel, but travels, and this was not the end of it!

Stayed in 5 countries, drove 24 000km, camped/slept in 62 different places, including 4 different "bush/wild/on the road camping, visited 11 Game reserves/National Parks.

Thanks to all of you for reading, for the encouragement, and being a part of our adventure.

We were not alone.
