Epic Adventure -- Day 29 -- 27/09/2012 -- Plettenberg Bay

We woke up early this morning, and drove straight into Plett for breakfast. Instead of opting for the commercial option of Wimpy and Mugg and Bean we went to their high street and found a little cake shop that served breakfast and each had a bacon and egg sandwich. After skipping mum we walked around the high street to kill time before my 11am facial. He facial was wonderful, I had a beautician called Rosie who used an array of techniques and products to make my face feel wonderful, it still does! Whilst there I had also asked them to book a hair cut for me, as my hair was in dire dire need of a trim!! A really good stylist by the name of Ryan cut it exactly as I wanted, not too much off and more definition in the layers :) whilst I was having my facial and hair cut Dan entertained himself by writing some of the blog posts from the previous days and looking at husky puppies in Scotland, as he is dying to have one when we get back.

As we had managed to lose the cable for the external hard drive, and it is the only means to get music for the wedding, we drove to the last computer shop we had spotted in the hopes that the hard drive didn't need some specialist connection that needed ordering. Luckily, it was a bog standard cable and we parted with R30 in exchange for entertainment at our wedding :D next stop was Spars bottle store Tops to buy Dan some bottles of J C Le Roux, as it was on offer for R40 and we had yet to see it under R50.

Back at the Dunes Dan spent the afternoon finishing his book whilst I watched the movie The Green Lantern. Our last walk on the beach was beautiful, just at sunset. Unfortunately we never spotted a whale or any dolphins, which are sighted often in the area. Once we got back to the house, the braai we had started earlier was about ready to cook on and we ate boerwors and baked butternut squash. Dan felt extremely ill, so I put him to bed and packed up all of our things for an easy and quick departure early tomorrow morning for the drive to Graaff-Reinet. Dan had asked reception earlier in the day if it was possible to have our inventory check in the evening some could get our R1000 deposit back, and also leave early the next day, to which he was told there was no issue with that. When I phoned them at half 9, the woman at reception told me that no one was available to do the check as it was very late, and yet that had just told us to ring before 10, which we had. After some coercion she asked me if we still had all our towels, which we had, so she asked me to come to reception to collect the deposit. Jenny - 1, The Dunes -0
