While we may still be basking in the sun and hitting the beach most weekends, I feel that it’s almost time to start realizing the truth. Winter is on its way…and in a mega hurry. Perhaps it’s because I’m living down in Cape Town close to the water, but we are already feeling the cold pinch in the evenings now. Gone are the days of traipsing around in baggies and slops, it’s almost time to whip that comfy armour out of the closet. Bring on the hoodies….well, the surfer hoodies in 2010 I mean!
Now of course the question is what hoodies should you go for this season? Well, it’s kind of a toss-up for the best of the best. It has been a long time since my wardrobe consisted of only surfer gear, but I overall prefer surfer style hoodies to the rest of the more fab-fab metro-male styles. As far as surfer hoodies in 2010 go I have stuck to my two favourites, which are perhaps pretty commercial labels, but hey I like their stuff.
These labels are of course Quiksilver and Billabong!
South Africa is a huge place filled with many wonderful destination spots. Whether your thing is crisp mountain trails or even shark cage diving, there are places all over to accommodate your needs. The problem is, how do you find these places, if you are a workaholic that never gets out of the city? Hmmm, a rather daunting task awaits you as you scour the internet or try and wangle deals through travel agents.
I say why not just pack your page, jump in the car and just head in a random direction.
How could you possibly survive a mission like this? Well with the trusty SA travel guide called Coast to Coast.
Yep Coast to Coast has been around for many moons. This pocket sized travel book has been a mainstay of backpackers and those looking for a touch of adventure since like…forever.
You most likely have a copy of Coast to Coast lying around your place and you don’t even know it.
As I mentioned this is more of a backpackers guide, so don’t expect Proteahotels and Richie Rich accommodation. Hell no, this one is all about backpacking, which is a lifestyle you either love or loathe.
