Expotition

Sunday it’s time for another expotition & picnic. Sandra & Rory have tried to find ‘the cave near Rasesa’ twice already, so we have high hopes we’ll reach it this time.


The first part is easy: fit five adults, four kids and supplies in a 4x4, and head towards the hill. When our old Hilux can’t work its way through the thorny bush anymore we start walking. After we hit the foot of the hill the going gets easier: less prickly bushes, just some rocks to climb. It’s great exercise, kid-pushing, kid-pulling, while making your way to the top!


On our way up we do find some small caves that are big enough for the boys to be exiting. All the way to the top is a bit optimistic, but we get to a point with a great view down and up. We think we spot our goal, conclude we’ve started our climb at the wrong point, and add actually entering the cave to our list of future expotitions.


For now it’s enough to rest, enjoy the view, and think about the picnic lunch and cold beers waiting for us if we make it down to the car.
Making it down is doable, even if you have to carry a by now tired kid. But finding the car in the thicket can turn into another expotition… Lucky us, we’ve brought cheesy pancakes & garlic bread, so if we really get lost we’ll just follow our noses.


We made it!
