Hotel and get changed for dinner. By the<br />
recommendation of many camps Bay locals,<br />
i decide to head to camps Bay retreat<br />
for dinner at their famed Von Kamptz<br />
restaurant.<br />
as if camps Bay and all its glory has not<br />
blown me away already, i am in awe of the<br />
absolutely gorgeous camps Bay retreat.<br />

camps Bay, and subsequently left the land<br />
to his widow after his death. after the marriage<br />
of anna and Von Kamptz, the area became<br />
known as “Die Baai van Von Kamptz”,<br />
which is where the name camps Bay came<br />
in to play.<br />
i could count myself lucky as i was told that<br />
camps Bay retreat offers a buffet-style barbecue<br />
every Wednesday and Saturday<br />
evening, in addition to their a la carte menu.<br />
as this was an already amazing Saturday, i<br />
decided to (once again) put my diet to bed<br />
and opt for the barbecue buffet. it did not<br />
disappoint.<br />
With a selection of salads, warm, baked<br />
vegetable dishes and your choice of pro-<br />
