If you've never seen it its well worth watching and if you have, watch it again. If you live (or have lived) in PE this video will give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside and usually makes me want to get out and explore.
Koningstrand is een van Port Elizabeth se bekendste en mees gewilde strande en strek van die hawemuur tot by die McArthur swembadkompleks. Die naam kom vanaf die Britse koninklike besoek van 1947 toe die koninklike trein langs die strand getrek is en 'n deel van die strand blykbaar omhein is vir die ekslusiewe gebruik van die koninklike familie. Die prinsesse het op die strand gaan perdry terwyl die koning ook daar gaan swem het. Plaaslik is begin om na die…
A surfer heading for the waves at Pipe at Pollok Beach

After yesterday's post of Wells Estate Pier I decided to post another one. This time looking back along the pier from the crows nest at the end of it.
I remember when I was about 8 or 9 I got to see a cow give birth on a farm I went to with my grand parents. Its something I never forgot and I always wondered if my KidZ, being city kids, would ever get the opportunity to see it happen. During our Sho't Left Easter weekend at the Crags we visited the Natures Way Farm Stall across the road from the campsite a couple of times. Natures Way is…
I want to bet that most PE Daily Photo readers who live in Port Elizabeth have never actually been to the Wells Estate pier. Yes, everybody knows where it is and have seen the blue buildings along the N2 just outside Bluewater Bay, but who has ever turned off to have a look. Although I've been there before I decided to stop by for some photos and took a walk along the pier to the end. This is where I took the…
