Rainy St Francis

This is going to be a short post. The weather was lousy.

The entire weekend we were in St Francis Bay it was raining cats and dogs. 

For the group of humans, this wasn’t all that bad. They stayed inside, drank loads of alcohol and played an endless amount of games; everything but fetch.

They played Uno, Charades, General Knowledge and Blind man’s bluff.  Their favourite game was something called Werewolf (also known as Mafia). 

In a nutshell: the storyteller moderates the game and chooses who will be the werewolf. The werewolf kills a member of the village each round and the villagers need to figure out who the werewolf is.

It seems like fun, but there’s a giant hole in the plot: the only one with a muzzle, four paws and fur wasn’t asked to play. 

Needless to say, I was bored. We will have to go back soon.

The Adventure  

Place: St Francis Bay, Eastern Cape

Activities:
  • Me: Playing in the rain, sleeping, waiting to be the werewolf.

Ballots Bay



I have to agree with the humans: walking, hiking or driving via a steep, bumpy and muddy road is ‘woolly’ worth a spectacular view (see what I did there?)

Going too close to the edge scares them, so they insist on wearing a red leash at all times. 

I think it is part of my duty to keep them safe. I’m a noble like that.

The beautiful Ballots bay lies between Vic and Herold’s on the Garden Route coastline. If I stick my head out of the car window at George, the wind wisps through my fur for about 15 minutes. 

This view point is situated on private property which will be developed for scientific research; into caves and spiritual retreats.

I left there feeling like Zen Dog

The Adventure 

Place: Ballots Bay, Garden Route, Western Cape.

Activities:
  • Me:  Walking, enjoying the view, running (when the leash is removed).
  • Humans: Hiking, enjoying the view, picnicking, braaiing, worrying about safety.
