Doll room
The No 7 Castle Hill historical museum has a fantastic collection of old dolls and toys dating back to the Victorian era and which are on display in two of the museum's rooms. Just off the courtyard is the doll display while the rest of the toys can be seen upstairs in the play room.

Fishing at Montagu Caravan Park
In the post about Montagu Caravan Park I mentioned that the caravan park has a dam that is a very popular fishing spot with the campers. At times the kids (and adults) were lined up next to the dam casting and reeling in. Now I'm not a big fisherman. I enjoying doing it for 15 or 20 minutes and then I get bored, so I don't really have the patience to be a fisherman. I'll rather sit and watch animals…

Suspension bridge
Suspension bridges always remind me of Indiana Jones and has a sense of adventure to them. This one may not lead over a chasm, but still. One can use one's imagination. The suspension bridge in question is right next to the Bush Cafe at Kragga Kamma Game Park and forms part of the Monkey Walk.

Mosaic
The massive mosaic art piece that has been created next to the Donkin Memorial and lighthouse as part of the Route 67 development has become one of the most interesting new art pieces on the Donkin Reserve. It creates a very nice approach from the flag pole to the pyramid and is best viewed from the top of the lighthouse.

Montagu Caravan Park
Over the last five years we have developed into a real camping family. Camping allows us to get out into nature more than we would staying in an hotel or guesthouse and because its cheaper it also allows us to have longer holidays. When we started camping we decided to always try out new places and in that way get to see more destinations and areas around out beautiful country. The Damselfly decided to book us for 10 days at the Montagu Caravan…

Spotted cat
We are really fortunate here in Port Elizabeth to have a place like Kragga Kamma Game Park right on the edge of the city. It gives people who doesn't always get the opportunity to visit private game reserves the chance to see a wide range of animals in their natural habitat. Kragga Kamma's cheetahs aren't free range though, but they are in a nice big enclosed area and its quite possible to take pictures of them without a fence in sight.

Donkey cart rides at Kloof Padstal
As you drive into the town of Montagu from the Cogmans Kloof side, the first building on the left is the Kloof Farm Stall. After our arrival in town we stopped by there to have a look and saw a brochure on the wall advertising donkey cart rides starting at the farm stall. Unfortunately the driver was ill that day and they cart weren't going. We returned the next day and still nothing. We started preparing the kidz for the…

Chickens live or plucked
Chicken is a very popular meal in the township, mostly because it's cheaper than red meat. The residents usually buy chicken from vendors on the street with the chickens being sold either live or plucked.

Blood’s Tavern
At first glance the name of this tavern along with the castle may make one wonder if you aren't entering a vampire den and if there were any vampires in there I bet they wouldn't glitter. Blood's Tavern is situated next to Njoli Square and is probably named after its owner while the castle sign is the logo of Castle Lager. We stopped for a drink (a Castle for some of the group) at Blood's Tavern while on a township tour…
