ORKNEY - FROM BOAT CLUB TO GOLF CLUB

Orkney was an absolute blast. Shortly after departing from Kleinparadys, we arrived at the Vaal River Boat Club desperate for internet connectivity. Karel Mini and a couple of other guys we met through referrals, was so kind to offer us work space and a room for the night, should we need to stay.





















Spent a night at the Orkney Golf Club after a grueling hot day on the river. We suffered against serious head winds earlier in the day, but the water was beautifully calm in the late afternoon. This part of the Vaal offers a variety of water activities and is especially great for kayak enthusiasts.

KLEINPARADYS, COENIE & HIS PRINCESS PETRO & A WEEKEND OF FUN...

We arrived at Kleinparadys later than expected, and we were completely finished at this point. Petro's uncle owns this little paradise outside Orkney, and they were all there to welcome us.
It was an absolute treat, and we spent the weekend hanging out, reviving our aching bodies and having a good time, thanks to Petro and her stunning family.
