We've been soaking up the South African sunshine for over a week now, so we've said goodbye to Cape Town, and have shot up the coast to Plettenberg Bay. We arrived late last night, and I've woken up before the group, with the sun beaming through my room at 7 am, no wind, no clouds, and pure sunshine. It's going to be an absolute scorcher, and we'll be making the most of it all. We're being pickid up at 8 45 by local legend John Henry who'll be taking us down for an early day surf making sure that we start Plett with a bang!??We've also been joined by a second TTRide trip leader in Chris Bond (for a write up on him see our team page) which means 2 heads planning the week ensuring non stop action.??
The final few days were as busy as the previous one's, we went on a wine tour, played more football with the local team, surfed a load more waves, and after too much waiting all the group received their brand new Clayton surfboards (which they're all itching to use this morning!)??In Plett we'll be having more of the same; they've got beautiful uncrowded warm water beaches, aswell as many other activities that would make the butterflies start flapping in the hardiest if stomach's. Plett boasts the world's highest bungee jump coming in at a modest 216 metres over Africa's largest bridge Bloukrans, aswell as one of the most scenic skydives you'll ever find. I have done both of these, and they have a 100% safety track record, and a long serving name, but I'll be letting the group make up their own minds as to whether they throw themselves off high bridges, or out of an airoplane!??For those less adrenaline minded there's an Ocean Safari to consider, having the chance to witness huge pods of dolphine, and the migrating whales that are out at sea, aswell as Monkey land which is an enclosed area with monkeys off all sorts running around.??We'll be here for 7 days, and are hoping to take the groups surfing to the next level. We're starting to bring in the video analysis, and will be looking for as much water time as possible.??So it's over from me, and just another day in Africa!??L
