...not if you blow her up only after you've passed the entrance gate..! Very Happy

Dont need the blow up pillion poppie - got my my own poppie. No further comment needed.

Don't be so serious, biker dude...

...at least for the next 6 posts...! bounce

Perske, by now you must be back from Oppi Koppi, so give us all the gory details and tell us what we missed. I am sure LeRoy wants to know how your (not so) 3 star accommodation was! Very Happy

I was invited to an Oppikoppie once, by a friend of mine who went along to chaperone his two kids of school going age. I went to the ablutions for the first time and found a door on one end that said "Ladies" so I walked around to the other end that said "Gents" and went in...
affraid

It was one room, with two doors. Urinals on my end, showers on one side and toilets on the other. Unisex ablutions with two doors to give a semblance of decency....

Walking about early one morning I spotted a young student walking back from the showers, drying his hair with his towel as he carried his toiletries bag in the other hand.
He wore slip-slops on his feet...that's it - just slip-slops and his birthday suit. Nobody gave him a second glance - it was Woodstock and 1969 all over again.
I caught the whiff of weed more than once and partial nudity from both sexes without much ado. I remembered my own activities at that age and I smiled...
Cool

by Andre 10th August 2008, 21:35

Now I know why Perske was so keen to go. He missed out on Woodstock and the hippie era. One should go to Oppi Koppie in an old VW Kombi (the bread bin type) painted full of flowers!! Twisted Evil

If you find one that still runs, I'M IN...!

(I still have genuine Kaftans and sandals from that era...I used to have the nickname 'Moses') Cool

You must know by now the rules - what happen on a trip stays on a trip Question

The accommodation was a bit dusty...very dusty. I camped far away from the entrance with no movement from feet or vehicles past me so the dust was limited. No disturbing noise either. Luckily the GS could go in far between the thorn trees where the 4 wheelers could not dare. All in all it was very enjoyable and full of fun.

They must have since then done some upgrades. A separation wall must have been built.

But you still smile a lot at this venue.... Very Happy

even if you are not a smoker afro

Koppi Creatures: The airy, lightweight skirt
Good air-conditioning for the heat and dust, although perhaps not great if you have knees that can bend forwards. Still, accessorized with a leather hat and a stubbly chin, not a bad look.

A desperate attempt to get into the VIP area, or a marketing ploy to get a wife?

by loox 12th August 2008, 15:46

"There's always one". Or in this case, or in the Oppikoppi case, hundreds. Operating in pairs, younger males assist each other's survival until one of them actually passes out, at which point he is abandoned. Or sometimes just lost. But don't worry, Jannie is nie dood nie...

by loox 12th August 2008, 15:47

This tells the world you're not just funny, you're cheap too. No, seriously, it's good to get arty. Even if you're just writing Oppikoppi RULE! Deep, broer. Now buy a shirt instead of wasting your mom's money on Klippies.

by loox 12th August 2008, 15:49

It's not enough to drink from the plastic cups provided by the bar folk. The discerning Oppikop-peep needs to make a statement about his alcohol consumption. If you want to make a statement about your proud rural roots, then get an animal skin sak, the Limpopo version of the silver hipflask. Or if you're urban and proud of it, just a coke bottle will do.

Yes, they are very scarce and rusted now. Richard, I can just picture you in a Kaftan with sandles and your beard and the long hair we used to have in those days. Certainly would've earned you the nickname 'Moses'. Would love to see a photo afro

Just as well LeRoy did not go (because he does not like anything below 3 stars) because with the LT he would've had to camp with the 4x4's. But jokes aside, I am glad you enjoyed it. Hope the music was good too. Pity I could not join you but we must plan for the next Underberg festival. Very Happy

LT aside - glad we dodged this bullet. Seems like this was -3star accommodation. And i doubt of the Oppikoppie Poppies made up for it. Perhaps Perske should post a few pictures.

by Andre 12th August 2008, 20:46

Yes, I must say I am keen to see some pictures. So Perske, please prove to us you were there. The GS and the tent in the dust will be enough evidence. bounce

by Henk 13th August 2008, 10:11

I also vote for the pics. Never done oppikopi. Should be nice to hear about all the "adventures". Dont think I will do that one not realy very interested in "headbanging" lol!

You bet i am going to the Splashey fenn festival in 2009 over Easter. I have been there and although it is further from Pretoria it is better to go there on 2 wheels. No dust at all and the camping area have lushes green grass everywhere. The "souties" from Durbs is also bad campers and they tend to come to you to sas out your equipment. Tents and dry wood is usually not on the priority list.

Well, this time I hope nothing comes in the way, like my Pont Drift trip last time, and that we can give it a go. Very Happy

A keen fotographer like you, and no photos Question
