The perfect date on the Central Coast of California

Written by Dan K. O'Leary

Planning your first date A wise man once said, “Don’t reinventrepparttar wheel.” So listen up my aspiring Casanova, and you too will be rolling in no time. First of all- if you were planning dinner and a movie tear up that worn out idea and get over that tired old fallback. Take a moment to look outside. We live in paradise people! You are constantly surrounded by awe inspiring vistas, sandy beaches, and a majestic blue sky.

With that in mind, whenever I think of a perfect date, I imagine a Saturday afternoon in Pismo Beach. All you gentlemen should plan on staringrepparttar 134011 day at Pismo Beach florist, and purchase a single rose. It shows that you aren’t afraid to give, but you also aren’t out to buy their love. Pick up your date and head over torepparttar 134012 Steaming Bean, and order up a pair of mocha lattes. Mention that Daniel K. O’Leary from VirtualSLO sent you, and take a seat at my regular table. After chatting over your frothy beverages, talk a stroll down torepparttar 134013 shore, and sit and listen torepparttar 134014 surf crash. The rest is up to you. Total Cost- $12.

Keeping it lively “I’m bored” are three words you should eliminate from your vocabulary when it comes torepparttar 134015 SLO life. There is a reason millions of tourists descend upon or community every year, and you need to understand why.

You can eat at a new restaurant every week, and not repeat for over a decade. You can go to a new beach every weekend for an entire year. Whether you want to bike, listen to classical music, or make your own wine,repparttar 134016 options onrepparttar 134017 central coast are as limitless as your imagination. I’m fairly unoriginal, so I cheat and look atrepparttar 134018 events calendar on VirtualSLO to keep abreast of what is happening duringrepparttar 134019 next week. Go see a show atrepparttar 134020 PAC, take a wine tour, or go bird watching. In my personal experience, I’ve been on more dates than I can remember, and I’ve yet to repeat.

So good luck meetingrepparttar 134021 right person, and in case someone introduces themselves as Daniel K. O’Learyrepparttar 134022 next time you are downtown, run. You probably wouldn’t want to date me anyways. If you would like some personal advice, send me an e-mail and I’ll see what I can do.

For dinner Andrew had takenrepparttar Zulu line. An interesting stew with a type of dumpling bread baked inrepparttar 134010 same pot. Butternut and maize meal and some wild spinach added a touch of colour. What I have never seen before wasrepparttar 134011 wild asparagus sautéed in lemon and butter with a hint of sesame oil. I start to drool even thinking about that now.

The next morning was a guided horse trail throughrepparttar 134012 Drakensberg foothills. I am not a horse enthusiast normally but with such relaxed horses I would not have missed it for anything. It was just before lunch we headed of to Montusi

Montusi a bit like a hotel with a personal country cottage feeling about it. The lodge is perfectly positioned to catchrepparttar 134013 surrounding view, fields of galloping horses and lakes to fish in. The food here too is excellent perhaps not as unexpectly different asrepparttar 134014 Antbear but our lamb with chargrilled lemon and mint was perfect.

Our last day in these mountains was spent walkingrepparttar 134015 Tugela Gorge Walk belowrepparttar 134016 Amphitheatre inrepparttar 134017 Royal Natal National Park. It took us torepparttar 134018 base ofrepparttar 134019 Tugela Falls, whererepparttar 134020 Tugela River plunges 948m (3,109 ft.) fromrepparttar 134021 plateau, its combined drop making itrepparttar 134022 second highest falls inrepparttar 134023 world, and afforded us marvelous views ofrepparttar 134024 Amphitheatre.

Our trip back to Durban guided us throughrepparttar 134025 Midlands Meander a place I find to be over rated unless you makerepparttar 134026 effort to pick outrepparttar 134027 gems that it does offer. We stopped at Marakesh Israeli Goats Cheese for a glass of wine and some cheese tasting. A perfect light snack after that lovely drive to get here. Our next stop took us passedrepparttar 134028 Karkloof Falls torepparttar 134029 Karkloof Canopy tour.a unique eco-experience that takes people on a 3-hr adventure throughrepparttar 134030 magnificent Karkloof indigenous forest. The canopy tour involves traversing from one platform to another along a steel cable suspended up to 30m aboverepparttar 134031 forest floor.

It was five thirty when we arrived back at my flat in Durban. We were all tired but satisfied with our week inrepparttar 134032 Drakensberg Mountains. I know that this region offers much more and far greater extremes but for us it was a perfect balance of natural beauty, good living and just a little excitement.
