Epic Adventure -- Day 25 -- 23/09/2012 -- Plettenberg Bay

We woke up this morning at about 7, but thankfully of our own accord as the noisy neighbours had yet to surface. We did hear them puttering about half an hour or so later, but not nearly as loudly as the day before. As it was a Sunday we figured there would probably not be a whole lot open as usual, so we chose to have a very slow and relaxing day. Once we were up and showered we drive into Plett and chose the Mugg and Bean for breakfast, mainly because they offer 30 minutes of free wifif, and we were falling behind on the blog! Dan opted for eggs benedict again (I think he is going through a phase) and I had French toast. While we were eating, these two little brown birds, or LBJ's kept flying in and strutting about as though they owned the place, nicking any scraps off the floor they could get. The waitresses vere very unphased by the birds, so they must be regular visitors. I may have fed them some of my French toast!

After updating the blog and saving those of you who had blog withdrawal, we wandered off to look at all the shops had to offer, as it had just started to rain. I saw a really lovely fluffy white bath mat in Mr Price home that I really wanted to buy, I clearly have some sort of house nesting syndrome, exasperated by the fact that I have no house! :D Dan convinced me we didn't need the bath mat, so we walked on and stopped in Bargain books. We bought a new book for Dan to read as he had devoured the Michael Chrichton one, and we drooled over a few home DIY books too. In Woolworths I found a packet of biscuits I used to love, called Oat Crunchies and we swiftly bought those. You can clearly tell we are having a thrilling day, and one which is obviously thoroughly entertaining for you, the reader ;)

We also found a pair of trainers for me as we had chucked my pair away when we had the bag weight issue in Glasgow (they leaked anyway), and got more fire wood. Once we got back to the Dunes, we had a fire for four hours, and Dan booked the remainder of the ostrich steaks for us that we had with more salad. unfortunately we have no photo evidence as it is so freaking fast, but we also keep being visited by this cute little shrew, that darts back and forth from the road to the hedge In our garden.

As our day had been very lazy and relaxing so far, we decided to head to the resorts bar for some drinks. I ordered a long island ice tea, that was reallystrong and really long, and you can see how far I had gotten once Dan started on his second drink! As we neared the end of my long island ice tea we felt slightly peckish and so opted to order one of their pizzas. Sunday's happen to be 20% off pizza days, and so the pizza came to a shocking R40, for this enormous, very loaded and very tasty pizza! We enjoyed it so much we ordered another for take away to eat later that night and for breakfast the next day. I then chose a frozen margarita from the menu, that was also really big, and we skyped my parents and Dan's mum for a few minutes before it was time to head back to our house to sleep.
