A couple of weeks ago I received an invitation to the Savanna Before and After Party here in Port Elizabeth. I'm not really the party and nightlife type so would probably have looked at the invite with only half an eye if it wasn't for the fact that it was a Savanna Party. Savanna Premium Cider is my favorite drink after all so how can I miss it? Saturday evening we dropped the KidZ off at the In-Laws and off we…
It was sad going past the Edward Hotel the other night and seeing that the whole place is dark except for the lights along the front. I wonder what's going to happen to the place or is it a case of nobody really caring at the moment?
You know when you've experienced something that you just want to share over and over again? My Wild Coast trip was like that (heck, sometimes I feel every trip I go on is like that) and I wish I could transport you all to the day I spend at Wavecrest Hotel and getting up to a perfect windless morning. Getting up just before sunset with not a ripple on the lagoon. Ahhh, absolute bliss.
I made a quick stop in Bluewater Bay a week or so ago on my way out to Addo. While taking a couple of photos at the Swartkops River Mouth a team from the Bluewater Bay Surf Lifesaving Club was called out to assist with an incident on the river. They quickly towed the waveski out to the water and two lifeguards set off upstream. I don't think guys like these get enough credit for what they do.
Have you ever wondered where Coffee Bay got its name from? Its not like the Wild Coast is a coffee growing area and beer is a lot more popular around there than coffee anyway. Way back in 1893 on a... this part of the story I don't know so I will give you a couple of options 1. dark stormy night 2. quiet fog covered morning3. bright sunshine day (with the sun shining in the captain's eyes) ... a cargo ship with a…
On Saturday Drama Princess played netball at the annual Newton Park Primary vs Mount Pleasant Primary inter schools sports day. This year it took place at Mount Pleasant where I went to primary school many moons ago. Now who do I support? Sorry Mount Pleasant, the KidZ are in Newton Park. I did walk around reminiscing a bit. Lots of childhood memories around the area.
Sorry guys. Just realised I'm out of pictures and my camera with everything I took this week is in the boot of my car. So I will get back to Port Elizabeth tomorrow. These three are (from top to bottom) Jessie, Abigail and Cena. As much as we like to travel as a family, they don't like it when we do because they have to stay home. A couple of weeks ago we went to the Crags for the weekend.…
