A bit of exploring through the Overberg brought us to the Red Windmill farm stall and restaurant outside the town of Napier. Next to the entrance we discovered this pink pig and how can one not want a photo with a pink pig?

High tide on the beach between Hobie Beach and Pollok Beach with Bird Rock just offshore. Believe me, Bird Rock looks a lot closer at low tide.
Have you ever looked down a hotel passage while on your way to your room and noticed how symmetrical it is? Well that was my thought exactly while spending a night at the magnificent Boardwalk Hotel recently.
After a busy holiday season, life in Port Elizabeth has returned to normal. I popped out to the beach during lunchtime one day this week and just enjoyed the wonderful beach we have between Hobie and Pollok, sharing it with only one or two others.

After climbing the Danger Point Lighthouse outside Gansbaai in the Overberg in December, Drama Princess and I headed down the path towards the rocks to find a Geocache hidden nearby. As we hit the trail down we encountered this sign. Damn, those must be big spiders if there is a warning sign including them along with snakes.
I often hear and see comments that there is nothing to see or do in and around Port Elizabeth. If that was true, would Port Elizabeth Daily Photo be passing post # 3000 today?

South Africa has some famous lighthouses. Cape Point, Green Point, Agulhas, Great Fish and Umhlanga just to name a few.
