Plett, glorious Plett

In the varsity break (about 3 weeks ago now), friends leant us their holiday house in Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape and we couldn't have been more blessed! It was a magnificent house, we had unimaginably great weather (considering it was the middle of winter), a much needed break and time to hang out with family, especially my eldest sister who was freshly back from Oxford...

We spent time lazing in the sun, baking bread, cooking from the array of recipe books that were there (it is in fact rather embarrassing how excited my sister Abi and I got over some glossy pages), going to local markets, taking long long walks on the beach and even watching whales from the balcony as they played in the sunlight!

We also discovered the natural beauty of that side of the South African coast, which up till now I hadn't explored much. A few posts to follow on some must see places!
