New Year's Day is known as the one day in the year when people flock to the beaches in their hundreds thousands millions to wash off the dust from the past year and celebrate the arrival of the new one. A few years ago we discovered that the gully in Kini Bay gets bypassed by most and it has now become a tradition for us to go and spend our day swimming and snorkeling here. This year was no different…
Sport can be divided into team sport and individual sport. When it comes to Geocaching it can be a bit of everything depending on your mood or situation. You can go caching on your own, with friends or with family. I actually enjoy every one of these and for different reasons. I find caching on my own is a great way to have "me" time while caching with friends can be lots of fun. As both Chaos Boy and especially…
Lauries Bay is situated on the Wild Side close to Kini Bay and is a collection of shacks (as the owners call them) on private land. To get to it you either need to know somebody there to get access via a dirt track or walk about 2km along the beach from Kini Bay. On the eastern side of Lauries Bay is the locals' most popular fishing spot called the Red Rocks. I headed that way not to fish but…
Port Elizabeth's Wildside has a notably rugged coastline. It's not called the Wildside for nothing. It does mean that there are countless gullies and spots between the rocks to explore and enjoy. Like this one at Lauries Bay near Kini Bay.
Lauries Bay is a collection of cottages - or shacks as the owners call them - on private land along Port Elizabeth's Wild Side just before Kini Bay. The only way to get to them is along a private track which only the shack owners have access to or walking along the beach. I've never been to Lauries Bay before but an ex-boss of the Damselfly invited us out there for a day and I got a chance to explore…
Tomorrow is back to work for me. Summer may be here but my holiday is over. It didn't quite turn out the holiday I was looking forward to last year but we did try to make the most of it. Last week we spent a day at our favourite gully at Kini Bay near Seaview. A safe and uncrowded spot we like to go to when the main beachfront's beaches are overflowing. I'll be longing to this scene when I am back in…
The gully on the beach at Kini Bay is fast becoming a favorite with my family. It's safe, not too crowded and a great spot to teach the kids how to snorkel.
On New Years Day we went looking for a quite beach to relax on, cool off and catch some sun. We discovered the ideal spot in Kini Bay. A gully right in front of Sea Otters Lodge. While Port Elizabeth's main beaches were packed to the brim, the Kini Bay beach was nice and quiet and the gully was a safe spot for the KidZ to swim and snorkel at their heart's delight. We will definitively come back to this spot…
During my last visit to the Seaview Predator Park I snapped a couple of pics of their two Hyenas and wanted to share this one with you. Since my visit the two, named Ed and Shenzi, has been returned to the reserve they came from as babies and word is that they are doing great and have found themselves at home with the group right away. I couldn't find any other information on their website or FB on why the hyenas came to Seaview…
