Oppi Koppi Bewilderbeast 2013: As seen through the eyes of a virgin Prawn.

By Mark Paxton

So it took me almost twenty years to get my ass to South Africa’s biggest music festival, which has not only become a South African tradition, but as much a part of South African heritage as Koeksisters and Friday night Noot vir Noot on SABC 2! For most who know me this would seem strange, being a lover of music, the outdoors and a bit of debaucherous behavior J.  But somehow, every year for the last 19 “something came up” and I never made it to Oppi Koppi. Shameful to say the least.

The Black Cat Bone - travelling to STRAB 2011

Part 2 of 3...

Waking up after a freezing night in the tent just after sun rise made me realized that I'm officialy not in my home country anymore. The bird life is just so different; the two late sleepers which included me, got up wondering where in the was Christine? The lady found the rest of the Nelspratan herd just a few short meters from us. It was decided to move our camp to their camp site to join them. After we moved the the tent, the car and everything else. We got advice on how to turn the mattress so all 23 of us can fit on it, heaven! We almost wanted to go to sleep again just be comfortable this time.

But the beach, sand and rum was calling us and we made off after a quick breakfast to the beach. When you wake up this early and you think you are going to have a nice warm shower, think again. I was lucky to had some hot water the previous evening. The rest all complained.

This is part 1 of 3 posts...it was 3 days

Today my blog title is dedicated to the two awesome sexy cows that travelled with us to STRAB and back. They were our seats, our jokes, our pillows and of course our sexy cows. Gomez is such a cool cat (I mean cow) with his blue colour and hat. Sunny being the bright ray of sunshine in our mist. They got so much attention from passing motorists, pedestrians and even the border guards greeted them.
