We all have these photos … throwback photos!
It’s described as ‘nostalgia-inducing pictures … from a different era of your life”.
Every Thursday we will throw a photo of ‘way back when’ on our blog. Why on a Thursday? Because it’s just a day away from the weekend … and we love weekends!
You are welcome to join in or just enjoy the photos (#TB Thursday).
Sunset at the West Coast of South Africa
Back in May 2016 we bought our little off-roader, a Suzuki Jimny. We barely had it for two weeks before we decided to go wild camping with our new car. And what better place than to find the way along our beloved West Coast.
This photo was taken on the third night of our trip. The closest town – Lutzville – is 67km (41 miles) from this wild camping spot! After pitching our tent and making a fire, we sat down and watched the sun set over the Atlantic Ocean. We then knew it was going to be a great trip.

Beautiful sunset! That beach seems to beg for beachcombing (in better light).

Thanks John. Yes, I have to admit, the sunsets on the West Coast are truly magical. We enjoyed a long walk on that beach the next morning – it stretches quite a few kilometers.

It was indeed Jo. Not a soul in sight and just what you need when you want to get away from the city lights and closer to nature!

A lovely sunset, Corna. As we move decidedly into winter here in Georgia, I’m thinking scenes like this are well and truly over for at least 2-3 months. Maybe we’ll relocate to a warmer climate in the new year 😉

Sunsets over the ocean are such magical moments. Oh, if I were you, I would definitely move to warmer weather if at all possible (2-3 months are a very long time)!

The sun looks like it’s just melting in the sky. Looks like a fabulous spot to wild camp.

Thanks Sarah. I almost want to say I can remember every sunset on this specific trip (but this one was probably the most beautiful) … we had such a great time!

En selfs 100x mooier dink ek … maar intussen is ek tevrede met ‘n sonsondergang soos hierdie om my te herinner aan wat wag!

Corna, julle het darem seker in ñ afgebakende gebied gekamp?🧐👀 Of wat beteken wild camping?

Afgebaken? Nee, dis ‘n lang strook langs die Weskus wat ‘oop’ is vir wild camping … nie oral nie, maar as jy die omgewing ken, sal jy die plekke kry. Is dit veilig? Dit was nog altyd terwyl ons daar gekamp het – maar dit kan seker ook verander (sal jammer wees).

That is a stunning campsite!

One of THE best I would say! If you like a bit of ‘rough’ camping, this is the spot!

‘n Ou kleine dorpie, maar die omgewing is pragtig! Berto was daar vir twee jaar in die laerskool … en soos jy kan sien, is die see net ‘n klipgooi ver!

A friend of ours in Colorado had a Suzuki that he drove all over the place- mountains roads and big rocks, too! They seem to be great vehicles. Beautiful throw back. Love sunsets.

It’s a great 4×4 vehicle (not very fast, but definitely willing to go to places where you won’t find your ‘normal’ car). Thank you, when we’re camping next to the ocean this is definitely one of the best times of the day!
