coffee bay - hole in the wall




so for yet another weekend mdumbi was fully booked, so off to coffee bay we went. three backpackers in coffee bay pretty much guarantee accommodation. the bottom photo shows coffee bay from the main road leading down to it. on the saturday afternoon, after spending the morning on the beach, we went to hole in the wall. its a 15min drive from coffee bay and is just amazing. the cows in the picture were fighting but stopped before i could get my photo... so unfortunately they became just more animals on the road, just part of life. hole in the wall was amazing and i decided to swim to hole. its a nice swim and you almost think you could swim through the hole until you get close and feel the pull of its currents. i diverted to a shelf of rock which allows you to sit right next to the hole while masses of water and spray pass by you only centimetres away. hole in the wall is always worth a visit and my tiny cellphone camera doesnt really catch it that well. we returned to coffee bay around four and rob, the pharmacist, and i went fishing. we managed to find a pretty much perfect fishing spot. my fishing equipment is lying dusty and unused in cape town but after this i am definitely fetching it asap. rob started things off by reeling in a crayfish, nice but not what we were aiming for. i then caught a cob, which was eventually followed by two others, on caught by rob and one by me. fish braai anyone?
