"What are those things Mommy?""Those are tourists my son. They come out twice a day in the mornings and afternoons on those big 4x4's to gawk at us. Smile nicely now, that one is busy taking our photo."
Chaos Boy leaping off the rocks in front of the Pollok Beach parking area. Its not quite swimming weather yet but hopefully in a month or so we'll be able to take the Kidz back there for a swim in the rock pool.
Hair salons in the township is a dime a dozen yet its apparently a very good business to be in and they all make a decent living. I took a peek into one of the containers (and with containers I really mean most of them operate from shipping containers) in New Brighton the other day and was pleasantly surprised to see how well it was kitted out. One wouldn't think its housed inside a container. The hair dresser was busy…
Late afternoon looking back towards Hobie Beach from Pollok Beach in Port Elizabeth
The Pride went to Pollok Beach last weekend and I took a walk down to Pipe with Drama Princess to go and watch the surfers. I can't say I was very surprised to find Luc Hosten, The Godfather of PE Photography (Friends of Schoenmakerskop), snapping away as the surfers rode the waves.

The boardwalk below the restaurant is one of the main features at the park and visitors can watch the lion and tiger cubs play below. You can also have the opportunity to interact with the cubs and most international visitors love the chance to be able to touch and play with them.
Summer is getting closer and soon December will be here and the lights in Happy Valley back on. We attended the Bay TV birthday celebrations on Heritage Day this past Monday and the Kidz said that they can't wait to go and see the characters when the lights are on again.
The play park at the new Kings Beach development is officially the Kidz' new favorite play area in town with all its "different" activities. Personally I like the journey of giraffe next to the pathway which I have used as one of the clues in an "Amazing Race" type of competition called Travel Quest I organised for this past Monday.
