THE PERONI YACHT CRUISE

So what do you do on the last day of a long weekend? Well, if you're in Jozi you'll probably hang out with some buddies at The Zone or maybe grab some nice meat at Bra Joe's in Alex. If you're in Durban, you'd probably go chill on the beaches along the Marine Parade, but the hordes of people that swarm that area will probably deter you from actually having fun.

What if you're in Cape Town? Well, you'd do exactly what a bunch of us did on Monday, the 28th. You'd take off on a spacious yacht with a bunch of cool people and cruise along the Atlantic Ocean in the shadow of a glorious kodak-ready sunset. Our good people at Peroni invited Encore to tag along on such a mission and we couldn't help but to humbly oblige.

We met up with the crew late afternoon at the V&A Waterfront where we sipped on a couple of cold ones while admiring the vivacious curves of the 'pretty lady', otherwise known as the yacht. Our captain of the evening promptly urged us on board where we were met with chilled house beats, beautiful companions and of course, ice-cold Peroni.

The cruise took us to the outskirts of the V&A harbour and across the Atlantic seaboard. In the process, we witnessed one of the most captivating sunsets! In such an ambience, I could not blame certain peeps for getting all intimate; this is after all what la dolce vita is all about - the sweet life.

Props to Nkosana and Simphiwe for organising the awesome cruise.
