We woke up when we wanted to wake up and we did what we’d been looking forward to for a while – we had showers. The wind had died down so it was warm enough to do so. We both treated ourselves to a three bottle shower (it normally takes just two). I scrubbed and…

At some point in the night, I was surprised by a pitbull tongue in my face. Cleo was scared of the noise the wind made and wanted a cuddle in bed, thinking that a lick in the face would be a perfect way to ask the question. Apart from that, we had a sound sleep,…

Our first blissful sleep in a while and our first city camp, we woke up late. Dan wasn’t happy, he’d been bitten all through the night by something or other and had bites all down his legs. He was pissed they’d only attacked him and not me. There was nothing we could see to tell…

Despite the noise of the night, we’d both slept ok, sleeping well past sunrise. Keen to do the hike we’d missed yesterday, as soon as we were up, we had a quick round of cereal for brekkie, then drove out of camp for the last time. Lidia and Christian were still asleep in their tiny…

Despite the heavy sleeping caused by our drunken state, our night was disturbed by tailgaters partying right next door. We don’t know how long we conked out for, but at some time in the night, the noise around us became unbearable and we moved the car to the back of the parking lot. As Dan…

We had a pretty good sleep considering the base died away some time during the night and the lights in the palm trees next to us were turned off. As usual, we woke with first light, but contrary to our normal behaviour, Dan got us straight out of bed to go and see the sunrise….

Cleo woke us, just like a kid on Christmas morning, climbing into her parents’ bed to inform them it was morning and time to open the presents! We obliged, opening the back door to a clearing marine fog over the waves. We all used the bathroom before retreating back into the van for a couple…

Our camp had been perfect except for the 2am wake up call from the policia. Cleo’s growls were our first warning, but the real awakening happened when we saw the bright headlights shined at us and a male voice shouting something. Dan was faster to react than me, quickly grabbing some pants and shouting “Una…

You could say we were woken up by the sun but we were really raised by the heat. By 7am, it was way too hot to stick around in the car anymore so we were out. Neither of our bowels were really playing ball so it was necessary to get out and do our morning…

It was a nice change to be woken up by the sun, even though it meant we were out of bed by 7am. First sunrise in the Baha. Perfect. I got myself comfortable in my chair at the back of the car wearing only my underwear and being just warm enough thanks to the early…
