We are really privileged here in Port Elizabeth that we have so little over development along the beachfront. No heavy traffic congestion and narrow roads like in Durban or lack of parking like Cape Town. Our beaches are generally clean and driving along Beach Road and Marine Drive you can keep one eye on the sea. I love Port Elizabeth.
What is the first thing you think of if I had to ask you to name one thing to see or do if you visited the Karoo Heartland town of Graaff-Reinet? I don't know about you, but my answer would be the Valley of Desolation in the Camdeboo National Park. For some reason every time I spend the night in Graaff-Reinet I end up visiting the Valley of Desolation and that reason is that the Valley is one of the…

Stopping by there on Sunday I realised that we've never really brought our kids to swim here and although it was a glorious summers winter day, I think we may…

Check out how packed Pollok Beach was on this Sunday afternoon.
It's winter... or wait, perhaps summer. With the temperature hitting around 30C today the perfect end to this lekker day was a lekker braai.

We all have our travel bucket lists. In actual fact, I have three. One for South Africa, one for Africa and the other for international travel. I have never been to Mpumalanga so both Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route were very high on my South African travel bucket list until I got the chance to tick one of them off recently. A trip to White River for the SATSA conference meant I had a morning for a pre-conference…
