Seisa to Captain Billy Landing

Last night we had dinner in the restaurant at our caravan park, it was so beautiful, the type of thing you see in movies! Our table right on the beach was waiting for us, tealight candles on the table and tiki flame lights lining the beach.  The rest of the restaurant/bar area is all outside and decorated with party lights hung between the palm trees.  We enjoyed a great meal of spring rolls, steak, prawns and vegies (as well as a few beers chucked in!).  Dinner was beautiful (yes, even Shelly enjoyed the steak, so it must have been good!!!).  

Highly recommend this place for a meal if you are up the cape.

Jardine River ferry

Today we left Seisa and our home at Loyalty Beach for the past 4 nights. We had a great time exploring all that the tip has to offer, so much history up that way. We set off on the short drive back to the Jardine Ferry to cross the river and then headed off to Captain Billy Landing.

We had been warned that Captain Billy Landing can be windy and that warning was correct - it was more than windy, never again will I stay there!  The wind was bad enough when we arrived, and throughout the night it got worse.  The tent was blowing and creaking and our stretchers were being pushed around.  The sound of the howling wind and the fierce ocean waves crashing was unbearable - and to top it off, it poured with rain overnight - all of this combined did not make for an enjoyable night of sleep (or lack of!).

One thing I'll give it though, the night sky was awesome, the best we've seen so far on this trip.  Full 360 degree view of the sky and no lights whatsoever, the stars were so bright, millions of stars in the dark night sky.  That view nearly made up for all the wind!!
