Plettenberg Bay

We were sad to leave Stellenbosch and all its beautiful wineries and vineyards. The Dutch buildings and scenic roads just made it such a delight, but it was onwards to Plattenberg Bay.
We had a long drive ahead of us, so after a quick fuel at the servo (and a longer conversation than expected with the attendant) we took off to Mossels Bay for our first stop.

As circumstance would have it, the restaurant was doing a bit of a revamp as well, so food options being limited - we headed back on the road with just some fast food to patch us over.
Before getting to Plettenberg, we stopped at a lookout to stretch our legs before whipping up a quick spag-bol for dinner.Read more
