Cradock’s Tuishuise and Victoria Hotel
Driving through the Karoo from the interior to the Eastern or Southern Cape coast (or the other way around) and looking for a spot to sleep over? The Karoo Heartland has some excellent overnighting spots in towns like Cradock, Graaff-Reinet, Nieu-Bethesda and Somerset East. If Cradock is your overnight destination of choice then you really don't need to look any further than the iconic Tuishuise and Victoria Manor Hotel.Die Tuishuise on Market Street in Cradock is made up of 30 beautifully restored Karoo style cottages. These cottages date back…

Beachfront after dark
A meeting after work last week meant that I was on the beachfront after sunset and it gave me a chance to snap a few pics. I'm still figuring out the settings on my new SLR so played around and then realised that I should have had my tripod to really get some nice pictures. This was the best of the ones I got and only once I downloaded it did I realise it was blurry. Darn! But decided to share…

Caching walk
Last weekend I went for a Geocaching outing with Drama Princess. Two of the caches we did was along a path in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve. I love how Geocaching is allowing me to spend time with my KidZ in the outdoors.

Sand Sledding on the dunes at Colchester
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CGBYdFmE1c&w=500&h=400]Last week I got to check out the new sand sledding activity in Colchester. Addo Sand Sledding is presented by The Sundays River Ferry and includes a leisurely cruise down the Sundays River towards the river mouth, a climb to the top of the dunes for the awesome view across Algoa bay back towards Port Elizabeth and then sand sledding. Les Kingma had special sand sleds designed and made and believe you me, it is an awesome experience enjoyed by…

Bigger, better, louder and more awesome. Imax comes to Port Elizabeth
I have never been to an Imax movie so big was my excitement when I received an invitation from Ster-Kinekor to the grand opening of their brand new cinema complex at Baywest in Port Elizabeth. The complex is made up of 5 regular cinemas, two Cine Prestige luxury cinemas (kitted out with reclining chairs and the works) and, the cherry on top, an Imax cinema. Only the fourth one in South Africa. Did I mention that Joburg hasn't got an Imax yet. Cool,…

Star Wars in PE
After a late meeting on the beachfront last week I decided to snap a couple of pictures before heading home. Looking down to the Port Elizabeth Harbour through a bit of haze it looked like a Star Wars Imperial Walker have joined the Harbour Giraffes. Just in case you don't know what a Imperial Walker is, see below.

Langkloof protea
The Langkloof may be a "less desirable" tourism destination than the adjacent Garden Route, but it doesn't mean that its less beautiful. It may not have the breathtaking coastline or inspiring indigenous forests of the Garden Route, but it doesn't have to stand back one step when it comes to scenic beauty. Framed by mountains in the north and south, the predominant vegetation is Fynbos, interspersed by farmland and summer fruit orchards. A little detour on my last trip up…
