A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Plettenberg, South Africa by TravelPod blogger Jonnyandgill titled "Plettenberg Bay". TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Jonnyandgill's travel blog entry: "4 Days in Plettenberg Bay. The nicest place we have been so far. We arrived and stayed four nights in Nantando's Backpackers. I have to admit. The backpackers over here are on par with the hotels. In our money we probs pay the same rates but it works out as 15 euro each a night. The room has ensuite bathroom, television, coffee/tea, fresh towels etc. Its basically a hotel. The owner of the hostel was lovely and made us a traditional African meal on our second night. The meal is cooked in a big pot and its like a stew accept it is layered. Plettenberg is great and it is the first place that we have been to that is safe to walk around a night. You get a bit sick of getting cabs from door to door after a while. The beach is unbelievable. Crystal clear waters with big waves. You actually feel safe swimming out to such monstrous waves when the water is so calm and clear. Great crack aswell. This is the place where all the South African students come during their break. It is like an American Spring break and the main pub is fairly lively and good crack. We managed to make are way to it twice over the four days we stayed here. We have also been eating really well.

We decided to check out the east coast this time as we'd heard it was really nice. We got a shuttle bus to Amed. Found a Lonely Planet recommended place to stay, which actually turned out to be really nice. We're now at the Three Brothers Bungalows. Our first day here we rented another motor bike. It's so much fun and great to have the freedom to do or go wherever we want, whenever we want. Amed is renowned for its diving, snorkelling and small coastal village feel. It definitely lives up to its reputation. The snorkelling right out front of our hotel is excellent and the road that hugs the coast all the way to Amalapura (about an hour and a half drive) is spectacular! There are a number of bays, beaches and harbours along the way as the road winds up and down some pretty hairy terrain along the cliffs. The bike almost stalled out a few times trying to climb some of the hills. After getting used to a portion of the road that we always used to get to restaurants in a local village, I got a hang of how to negotiate the roads; drive like a maniac on the downward slopes in order to get enough speed to propel you up the hills.
