Growing up we spent many a Sunday afternoon down at the "the rock" (as we called it) below Something Good. You know the one I'm referring to. The one where the water washed through between the rocks and into the little natural tidal pool. Yes, the one in the picture. Stopping by there on Sunday I realised that we've never really brought our kids to swim here and although it was a glorious summers winter day, I think we may…
Yesterday we took a drive around Marine Drive to Schoenmakerskop and after a walk to the Oceanos lifeboat ended up having a picnic with this stunning view. Just another reason I love this beautiful city we live in.
One of my absolute favorite places to enjoy an Eastern Cape sunset is from the Valley of Desolation outside Graaff-Renet. Other than that, I will let the picture do the talking. #ExperienceEastCape
Any visitor from outer space who landed up in Port Elizabeth over this weekend would have been very mistaken to think that it is the middle of summer. With temperatures touching 30C, people seem to be have summer withdrawal symptoms and flocked to the beaches in numbers you rarely see in summer. Check out how packed Pollok Beach was on this Sunday afternoon.
It's winter... or wait, perhaps summer. With the temperature hitting around 30C today the perfect end to this lekker day was a lekker braai.

We all have our travel bucket lists. In actual fact, I have three. One for South Africa, one for Africa and the other for international travel. I have never been to Mpumalanga so both Kruger National Park and the Panorama Route were very high on my South African travel bucket list until I got the chance to tick one of them off recently. A trip to White River for the SATSA conference meant I had a morning for a pre-conference…
If you continue along the beachfront walkway past the lollipop beacon onto the boardwalk it feels like the coastline suddenly transforms. You feel just that little bit further away from the city. I did it during the week early one morning and there wasn't another soul around until I encountered another walker on the way back to my car, but if you feel wary doing it when it's this quiet, do it on a Saturday morning when there are more…
The Wild Coast is famous for it's magnificent coastline which can be explored in various ways ranging from hotel to hotel slack packing, spending time with locals or while staying at one of the excellent family hotels along the coast. I spent a night at Kob Inn at the Qora River mouth and got to have a quick look around the coastline bordering the hotel. I can just imagine spending a few days there in summer exploring these beaches. Qora River…
This morning I had the honour and privilege to be involved in the organising and execution of the Port Elizabeth leg of the Travel Massive / National Department of Tourism #womenintourism breakfast event at the Summerstrand Hotel. It coincided with Women's Month and we made use of the opportunity to celebrate the involvement of women in the tourism industry. The theme of the event was Doek on Fleek and most of the women in attendance were wearing a doek with…
