Crescent Country House Plettenberg Bay

... working locally in the area's township - is set in the most stunning gardens with a beautiful mountain for the main view every morning you wake up. Just perfect. Due to the beauty of this place, the price (about 5 quid a night) and a few very drunken nights where we were unable to move the next day, we actually ended up staying at Rocky Road for 9 nights. We had our own room to so no dorm to worry about potential thieves etc etc. In fact when we first ...

... bridge I spotted a small-spotted genet cat on the boardwalk, a nocturnal cat I had never seen before. What an unexpected treat! It was amazing when I reached the bridge over Storms River Mouth in the darkness, the surf churning and crashing with spray dousing the bridge 30 feet above the water! It was exciting and even scary to cross the bridge with only my headlamp. I turned it off to listen to the sea, stars overhead with no clouds now and no moon either ...

... panna cotta (can never resist a panna cotta if only to compare to what I can do!) and Steve had creme brulee - both done to excellent standards. The restaurant is a great place to dine so it wasn't surprising to see it busy with hotel guests and people driving in. So often hotel restaurants only have residents dining so great to see that this place wasn't like that. The waiting staff are all very friendly and the restaurant manager is a character - extremely hospitable and ...

... the wire mesh to the middle of the bridge- that was one of the most scary bits. Ella jumped before me, I was so nervous when she went over the edge. Then I got the rope tied to my legs- very anxious now. They lifted me to the platform- I looked down. I was petrified and thought for a moment that I couldn't jump. The guys held my arms up and shouted "3, 2, 1 BUNGY!" I screamed the whole way down, stopping once for air. I just laughed ...

... z Italijanom Hermido) zaostal 9 min, je to kar dober cas, je pa res, da so naju med drugim danes prehitele 3 zenske ekipe, in nekaj mesanih parov, med njimi za 10 min tudi downhiler, domacin Greg Minaar s svojo ekipno partnerko. Racunava, da bova jutri z boljso startno pozicijo lahko popravila tudi to pomanjkljivost pri sicer kar uspesnem dnevu. Sva pa zadovoljna, ker sva v cilj prisla kar dobro ohranjena, brez pretirane utrujenosti. Masaza je tudi ze za ...

... He casually mentioned that there are a few bungees along the Garden Route, so I did a bit of research. Turns out that the jump from the Bloukrans Bridge just east of Plettenberg Bay is the highest in the world, at 708 feet! So I figured I'd never get a better chance at redemption. We drove out there this morning and I must say it looked intimidating. A crowd regularly gathers at the side of the canyon to watching a people jump. After ...

... up! Loved every minute...Caitlin and Rachit both did well...but Rachit openly admitted that surfing wasn't his sport at all.he managed the entire two lessons ok (Rachit just walked in the room, and read this little paragraph about his lesson..and insists he got the thumbs up too...so take his word for it I suppose, cause I didn't see it)!...and Caitlin got thumbs up from Leon too which was excellent! We're both planning on renting boards up in Jeffrey's bay...so I'll ...

... rain so wasn't gonna climb it then so the evening before turned out well! The night I left Tubies (6th Jan) I went to Jefferys Bay to Island Vibe Backpackers.. Had stayed there a load of times before and wanted to go down to say goodbye to the staff there that I knew! Had a great night! Such a laugh down there - always a party vibe.. Got to compare 'smiley faces' on hand with onea the barmen Rob, the previous time had been there we'd made ...

Got sum funny looks from len (barman der) coz we got cinnamon sent down for shots.. If ...

... 4ish the next day so felt like it was 2days! The beach there is gorgeous!! Goes either side of the backpackers - to the left brings ya down to a little kind of holiday village. The backpackers had a dog that kind of adopted me.. took him for walks & runs on the beach each day a few times - and he loved tug of war so was constantly bringing over sticks to me to play with / throw - also discovered he like to play what I call "the sand game" which basically involved me ...
