Good luck with your Nippa hut Peter.
Yes Jake, we're already planning to run to the hills
With the cooler fresher climate I'm able to do so much more.
We have an uncle who will design and build our 'Nippa house'
It'll basically be place to stay of our very own we we visit the area. Nothing special but will have a proper CR and shower room etc.

We only planned this trip for a weekend but already been here over a week.
We may stay on for a while still it's so nice and everyone is friendly.
The one thing I'm still wary about is this business of sharing and passing around the single cup of beer.

The weather today is a little overcast but very pleasant.
I'm thinking about another day at the deserted beach for picnic and fishing. Better get another case of San Mig
