After a morning of mowing the law and doing some things around the house I headed out for a spot of Geocaching this afternoon. Rather than just doing a few park and grab caches, I opted to go for a walk in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve and pick up a series of 12 caches that I've been wanting to do for a while now. The caches in question aren't on the regular trails but rather higher up in the…

The blog is done by Sarah and Ralph Dirsuwei and covers mostly family travel which means that they involve their three sons Jacob, Luke and Cian. The family lives in the Sardinia Bay area within the Sardinia Bay Conservancy.

The view west from the top of the dune by the parking area at Sardinia Bay. It can't be denied that we have some of the most beautiful scenery in the country right here on our doorstep.

Last weekend I went for a Geocaching outing with Drama Princess. Two of the caches we did was along a path in the Sardinia Bay Nature Reserve. I love how Geocaching is allowing me to spend time with my KidZ in the outdoors.

Can't believe I forgot about this one as I was involved behind the scenes in helping to organize it. The insert featured Port Elizabeth based Afrikaans singer Abel Kraamsaal. Pasella took Abel for a walk on the Sacramento Trail and the two guides that took them tell the viewers more about the shipwreck, Khoisan…
The Old Cash Store on Sardinia Bay Road has been a popular spot over the years but since October last year something has changed. Well, for a start the name did. It's now called The New Cash Store. But a name change did just fall from the sky. It came with new owners Doug and Clair who have blown new life into an old favorite. Steak and burger night, pasta night, seafood night, pizza night, live music, an organic market once…
Walking along the Sacramento Trail one can see the sand dunes of Sardinia Bay in the distance the whole time. With about a kilometer to go the old Surf Lifesaving and ski boat club buildings come into view with the walkway over to the parking area.
