Driving past Kings Beach yesterday morning I noticed that "Playland" (because that is what we still call it even if it has a different name these days) is busy setting up for the coming summer holidays. Just the day before Cat Anderson James posted a Fun fair Then and Now on the Ex PE 60's 70's, 80's group on Facebook. If I'm correct the "Then" fun fair was located somewhere around Humewood beach. The "Now" photo I took a year or…
Looking towards Denville Beach and the McArthur Pool Complex in the late afternoon standing on the little surf wall I posted about a few days ago.
Road tripping means discovering new places, often places you will never see otherwise. This was once again the case when I had to drive to Bedford for a meeting and decided to take the scenic route via Grahamstown. About halfway between the two towns I passed over the mighty Fish River and pulled over to have a closer look.This spot really is in the middle of nowhere with not much to see yet beautiful in it's own way.The original bridge was built…
I just love the Port Elizabeth beachfront. I love that you can walk or go for a jog all the way from the harbour wall to the lollipop beacon in Summerstrand. I love that we have a clean beachfront. I love that it isn't over developed. I love the stunning views. I love our swimming beaches. I love that so many different watersports can be done on our beachfront.

I've never really thought about the wall leading into the sea between Denville Beach and Humewood Beach till I was standing on it this afternoon. Why is it there? My guess was that it encloses a pipe and once I guessed that I wondered if it isn't the pipe that was used to pump water from the sea to the old dolphin pool at the Oceanarium.
The exams are over and the Damselfly and I are confident that we will be passing grades 4 and 7 successfully again this year. Did it mean that there was time to finally get out there and take some photos again seeing that I've run out? Well, not really. There was a little time this afternoon though to take the sausages for a walk around the block. Camera will have to start working overtime from tomorrow again.
Seeing that I normally (try to) do a Geocaching related post on a Saturday, I really wanted to share this with you today even though it isn't in Port Elizabeth. A couple of Geocachers got together in Nieu-Bethesda for a caching event tonight and one of the Port Elizabeth cachers up there for the event decided to go and climb the Compass Berg today to find a cache located right at the top.The Compass Berg is located north of Nieu-Bethesda…

An early morning walk along the beach at Kabeljous. I know it's not PE but hey, close enough.
