I took a walk down to the Pier over lunch time as it is a beautiful day outside. Not just a typical beautiful winters day, but a warm one to boot as well. Plus it is still school holidays so there are lots of people around strolling along the boardwalk, on the pier and even sitting on the beach. There were even people having a swim. Pffft, what winter?
Mountain biking has become a very popular pastime of late and something I'd like to find the time for to try out. Time and the money for a proper mountain bike. I really wouldn't mind a proper off road bike to travel with. You know, one of those big BMW ones. But I can barely afford a scale model one so at the moment my favorite two wheel type of transportation is definitely a segway. Not that I have one,…
I found myself in North End today, driving on the road adjacent to the North End Lake. I haven't been here for a while and stopped for a look around before heading off again. I realised that where I was standing was an angle you don't see that often. It's always either looking across the lake to the stadium or looking at the lake from the stadium. So here is an angle from the side of the lake.
This afternoon I went for a drive up to Humble Ways private nature reserve on Lovemore Heights. It wasn't that I wanted to go for a walk, I just wanted to drive down the track to the gate through the vegetation tunnel around the track.
It feels weird to be married for 15 years and then to say you're staying in the honeymoon suite. That's what happened to us a little while ago when we spent an evening at the Plantation courtesy of a prize I won at the #ECMeetup bloggers event. If you think the room looks cool you should have seen the picnic dinner we got.
I won a night at The Plantation at the #ECMeetup recently and a few weeks ago the Damselfly and I made use of my prize (which I still need to post about). The afternoon after checking in we took a walk around the property and I snapped this pic of the chapel entrance - seeing that they're a wedding venue and all..
Last Thursday morning I did a presentation at a tourism stakeholder workshop in the Tsitsikamma and after lunch moved on to George for a weekend exhibit. Having had some time on my hands I decided to veer off the main road and pick up a few Geocaches along Bo-Langvlei Road, the dirt road running behind the lakes between Sedgefield and Wilderness. The plan wasn't to do the whole road but only the last section of it starting between Bo-Langvlei and…
I took this picture looking from the rocks at Pollok Beach back towards Hobie Beach the other day just as the little army chopper came flying past. Was wondering if I should post the picture when I saw somebody with a similar pic as their masthead pic on Facebook. At least I'm not the only one who likes the view so here it is for your enjoyment.
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2frVCrCcfGs&w=500&h=400]I love the fact that the family from Chasing the Rainbow also do video posts in addition to their general travel blogs and today I feature one of their videos as my Video Friday post again. With non of them having surfed before they decided to go for a surfing lesson at Oceanside Surf Store at Kings Beach using the Nelson Mandela Bay 5 in 1 Pass.
I don't think there is anybody out there (except obviously vegetarians or vegans) who doesn't love a good steak. Not everybody can make a good steak though. I have tried many times and just can't get it right. It's always either done to much or not enough and I think the Damselfly may even have given up on me finally producing her the perfect steak. But there are those who CAN make the perfect steak and on my visit to Umhlanga recently…
