This afternoon Drama Princess played cricket at Handhaaf Primary School in Uitenhage. The view from up at the clubhouse is actually quite nice with the mountains in the distance. Much better than the view from most other schools.
Two weeks ago we had a whistle stop visit to Cape Town to attend the Geocaching MEGA that takes place somewhere in South Africa only every two years. We literally drove the 800 km down to Cape Town on the Friday afternoon, attended the MEGA on the Saturday and returned on the Sunday. One of the events during the day took place on Signal Hill and I just could not pass the opportunity to snap a pic of Drama Princess…
I don't have big flowerbeds in my garden. For that I just don't have enough time and green enough fingers. I do have a few different plants and lots of succulents though and one of those I probably get most excited about when they flower is my air plants. Air plants (Tillandsia) is a member of the Bromeliad family and is actually very easy to grow. They don't need soil and you only need to water them slightly (like…
When there's more white than blue and green along the coast you know the wind was blowing again
I'm sure everybody in PE would agree with me that we are slightly tired of wind. It's been blowing just about nonstop for close to a month now so it was great to walk outside just now and realising that there is absolutely now wind blowing. So not to jinx it I just want to say. I woke up in Johannesburg this morning after last night's Lilizela Tourism Awards and looking out from my hotel rook the sky was hazy…
The Lilizela Tourism Awards organised by South African Tourism and hosted by the Minister of Tourism, Derek Hanekom, took place in the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg tonight (16 October 2016). This year I was invited to be one of the judges for the third year in a row and it really is a great privilege to be asked to be part of the adjudication process. The Lilizela Awards are South Africa's premier tourism awards and those products who walk…
Port Elizabeth geeks, fanboys (and girls), cosplayers and comic book lovers rejoiced today with the opening of Geek World SA at 189 Main Road Walmer. Geek World SA stocks cosplay outfits, comic books, figurines, unique clothing, board games, fandom jewelry and lots more. Looking at some people as they walked in to day was like watching kids enter a candy store. The shop was packed all day long so I couldn't get any good pictures other than a quick cell phone…
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eelyvUZ1GXI&w=500&h=400]The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University choir really showed their worth at the recent Varsity Sing choir competition up to where the judges screwed them over in the final placing them fourth where they should have ended second at worse. But let's not show sour grapes cause sour grapes do not make good wine. Anyhow, I wanted to share two of their performances from the semi finals with you today. The first their rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and then below,…
I had to stop at the Spar in Humerail this morning and stopped to admire the view of the harbour from the parking area. Some people wouldn't term this as a beautiful view but I like to call it an interesting view. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera so a cell phone photo will have to do.
Nine bloggers (seven of those based in PE) were asked to create posts about things to do in Port Elizabeth as part of the Cheap Flights Port Elizabeth #Blogathon 2016 in collaboration with Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism and Travel Concept Solution. All nine posts have been published in the last two days and covered a range of things to do for both big and small. Rather than a photo I decided to post the nine links for you to enjoy…
