Our next stop was Plettenberg Bay which was also discovered by Bartholomew Dias in 1487.  We had a problem finding our hotel and eventually were lead to the Plettenberg Bay Park Hotel. It doesn't look like much from the top of the hill but....

When I saw our room's shower, I knew this was the place I wanted to stay.

A great view and a private little beach. Notice the two lounge chairs at bottom left of picture.

The hotel balcony. In 1630 one hundred Portuguese sailors were marooned here for 9 months. Eventually, in 1776 the Dutch East India Company built barracks here and 3 years later the Bay was named Plettenberg after the then leader of the Company in Cape Town, Baron Joachim Van Plettenberg.

Our wonderful shower only lasted one night and then we were on to Port Elizabeth to the Nelson Mandela University where the "For the Strength of Youth" was being held. As you can see our next showers were in the dorms. I felt "I had wandered from a more exalted sphere."

Mom spoke to all 400 youth on the Atonement. They were very attentive and reverent. It was a great devotional.
