Easter @ Coffee Bay

---

We arrived in Coffee Bay late Good Friday afternoon to Neils (manager) warm smile & a "welcome drink" @ Coffee Shack. After our 9hr hike a glass of red has never tasted so good!Coffee Bay was booked out thanks to the Easter weekend so thank god we had booked! We signed up for dinner as we had no provisions & it was awsome. Yummy Xsosa bread, veg soup & med pasta. Poor Deano turned green during dinner, had to excuse himself & was sick before retiring for the night. One too many shebeens on the hike! I acually felt amped after our big adventure but also went to bed early out of sympathy. It was a full moon & I could hear the drumming session from Bomvu next door. It sounded awsome & I wished I could be bothered getting up to check it out. Woke up on Sat to rain & more rain! It just rained all day so we basically hung out, playing scrabble, eating & drinking. Not a bad thing to do after such a big hike! Easter Sunday we woke to the sound of birds. Blue sky! It was a gorgeous day so we hit the beach with Laurel & Kris for a swim & sun bake. Step out the front gate & you can buy lobster, ganja & even a dead snake from the kiddies! Being the Transkei there are also the standard donkeys & cows hanging around the beach! That afternoon the easter bunny came around & gave us all choc marshmallows. How stoked was I! Coffee Shack is a cool backpackers. The bar goes off if you so desire, or else you can just chill out with a jay in the garden somewhere. If you were a surfer it would be easy to get stuck here for some time!
