Carry on camping!

Our first bushcamp consisted of pitching up in the middle of nowhere, and the first job Jim did was to dig the communal toilet for us all, giving us instructions on how to use it.  We pitched our tents and congregated around the fire, watching an amazing weather front with thunder,lightning and only catching the tail end of the storm.

Happy campers

 

The next day sees us reach a new bushcamp, and another long-drop toilet, this time with an amazing view of a snow capped mountain.  The evening was spent on the truck with a pub quiz that was organised by Zoe and Susan, which turned out to be a brilliant night with lots of laughs and a great way to spend a rainy evening in the middle of nowhere.  Packing up early in the morning which
we have now got down to a fine art, our next destination was Sumela.  It was a campsite with only one shower between all of us, so it was a mission for all of us to get a shower, and I settled on a cold one the next day which helped wake me up after only 4 hours sleep after a drinking session on the truck the night before.

Another hangover cure was the 3km killer walk uphill to the monestary  at Sumela, definitely worth the climb, but it would have been even better if the cloud wasn't shrouding the view of the monestary whilst we ascended.  That evening we ate fresh trout at the campsite restaurant, and an early night
was in order ready for another country and another adventure, as we prepared for Georgia!
