WEEKEND AWAY to PARYS

Parys weekend away September.

Arrived in Parys in a few small convoys, and most headed straight to Jakkelberry, which was to be our digs for the weekend. We were all housed in one house, with en-suite rooms and sharing a common lounge, dining room and kitchen. Friday night was the traditional braai, and although the weather turned rather cold, we still managed a pretty good evening.

Saturday morning saw everyone scurrying around the shops in Parys buying warm clothing to fend off the unseasonal cold weather. The afternoon spent by most doing some rambling around the numerous craft and souvenir shops, for which Parys is renowned. Met up later for the famous PINK DRINKS, the recipe for which is the most guarded secret of Parys. Back to Jakkelberry to freshen up and then onto one of the best eatery`s in Parys, Hoi Polloi which is situated on the high street. The restaurant provided us with blankets to warm up due to the fact we had booked on the balcony. The food and the service were excellent, which more than compensated for the inclement weather.

Sunday we all went for a lovely breakfast, and then gradually started heading home after a bit more browsing around town. All in all, a good weekend was had by everyone.
