Eersterivier Rock features
The rocks at Eersterivier form a lot of interesting little coves and other features. This gully runs along the western side of the village and had lots of kids in it at low tide trying to catch fish with their nets. Next to is was the most amazing deep gully where we swam for most of the day. In between the rocks we found this stunning spot to swim. At its deepest it takes you just below the shoulders. The…

Sandstone rocks and ancient dunes
One of the features of Eersterivier is the ancient sandstone rocks along the sore.

The weekend's weather was gorgeous, the water turquoise (but for some reason…

Apple Express in “go!” magazine
My favorite magazine is Weg, South Africa's biggest travel magazine. I had a huge surprise a month or two ago when the deputy editor of Weg's sister publication go! (the English version), e-mailed me asking for permission to use a picture of the Apple Express she had seen on Port Elizabeth Daily Photo. I have said before that when I go professional one day I would love to have my photos (and perhaps articles) published in these magazines, so it…
