https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/Tv0KmplKW90&source=udsTimGloAdventures is a YouTube channel of a couple that travels the world. I picked up this video they posted after a visit to Port Elizabeth featuring the beachfront and Boardwalk along with some great aerial footage they took while on a helicopter flip over the city.
Another year has come and gone and 2014 is something of the past. I would like to wish all the Port Elizabeth Daily Photo readers and followers a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2015.What is your New Year's resolution for 2015?
Is it just me or did 2014 fly past at the speed of light. A year ago I had no idea what this year had in store for me and now, 12 months later I look back at a year of many highs but it also a couple of real lows, specially at the end. There is always more one would like to have been able to do, but 2014 has laid the foundation for 2015 to be an even more…
Happy Valley is one of the real Port Elizabeth institutions. We all went there as children and its great to be able to take our children there these days. For the decade or so Happy Valley has had a terrible reputation and very few people ever went there. Three or four years ago all the characters were fixed up again and this year the stolen electricity infrastructure has finally been replaced. The characters received a new coat of paint and two security…
The town of Patensie in the Gamtoos Valley is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Rolling hills, distant mountains, citrus and vegetable farmland, valley thicket, guest farms and some of the friendliest people you will find anywhere.
One of the favourite scenes in Happy Valley is the one of Alice in Wonderland. Drama Princess decided to head down the rabbit hole, chomped on a biscuit and drank a potion before going to hang out with the Cheshire Cat.
This week is probably the busiest week there is for Port Elizabeth. Thousands of holiday makers descend on the city over the school holidays with the week between Christmas and New Year being the peak of peak season. As I have a special place in my heart for Happy Valley and the fact that a lot of effort was done to get Happy Valley back as close to its former glory as possible, I have decided to dedicate a mini…
Somebody with a great sense of humor and the environment took a permanent marker to a public shower at Kings Beach. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone illegal graffiti, but I bet he's (she?) a regular walker who has had to turn the tap off after people on more than one occasion. I really like the "The universe thanks you" written to the side.
Imagine flying over a waterfall, across a river valley or down a river gorge. All of that is possible at the Tsitsikamma Falls Adventures zipline east of Storms River. Visitors get to zig-zag across the Kruis River right next to the N2 and the whole experience only takes about an hour. It means that there is no excuse not to stop and experience one of the activities that make the Tsitsikamma the adventure hub of the Garden Route. I've been fortunate enough…
I wonder how many locals know what a trig beacon is or have ever spot the few scattered around town. Chris and Denise of ChrisDen has put together a nice little Geocaching series that takes one along the Wildside, through Summerstrand and to the back of the airport, discovering six different beacons before looking for the #7 bonus cache. I took the following about trig beacons from their listings. Drama Princess decided to monkey onto this one to get a better view…
