With the wedding on Saturday, we hit Plettenberg Bay after lunch on Friday. Moby Dicks on the beach next to the BI hotel (leading to “The Wedge”) came into play and I tell you what, I was bloody impressed. This was, largely, to do with the very kak view from the restaurant.

 

The BI Hotel forms a backdrop
As the skyline blends into a lucid blah blah blah..

 

Being a beach-bar-shack on a gorgeous little beach, Moby Dicks doesn’t need to over-sanitise the place to get away with it. We went back for breakfast and a day on the beach. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

It’s a beach bar/restaurant.
It’s a fucking great little beach bar/restaurant.

 

They’ve got this “flag system” at Moby Dicks. Each waiter wears a colour which corresponds to the colour of the flag he puts up at each table he is serving. Like the yellow guy wears a yellow bandana. And the purple guy (Craig, our first waiter – very efficient. Relaxed, but efficient) had a purple apron. So then “when it’s hectic” the waiters know which tables were theirs.

I don’t know, I prefer each waiter having a section, but, you know, what ever blows your hair back.

 

Very easy on the eye

 

Plausible

The day on the beach was very multimedia, with the addition of my naughty little iTour speaker belting out some smooth tunes.

 

If you don’t have one of these your life is not complete
They’re only R200 and, for the price, the sound is incredible

Whilst it has nothing to do with Plett or the beach, there is one more thing I want to show you before I wrap up this little piece. I was reading the latest Conde Nast “Portfolio” magazine and came across this wonderful portrait of Iceland’s first couple. Check how fucking cool they are.

I want a first couple like that. It’s always reassuring to know that your first couple have a wonderful sex life, which these two clearly do. She’s a bit of a cougar, I must say..

I very much doubt Zuma can conjour up the same level of glamour and pizzazz with ANY one of his wives.

Loads more to tell. I’m in Plett until tomorrow I reckon, so I’ll catch you later.

Touch yourself.
