This morning when I got to work I got a message from a friend who took his mountain bike out for a change again. He wanted to show off the pic he took with his phone on the beachfront at sunrise this morning and I just had to share it with you. Perhaps I need to get my b-hind out of bed early one morning and go and take some pics like this myself.
Last week I got to attend the launch of the new Le Vino Wine and Tapas Bar at the Boardwalk. Le Vino is in the space where Dulce used to be and has a great upstairs area with a balcony.

Last night the third Travel Massive Port Elizabeth event took place at The Mad Hatter on Heugh Road in Walmer. Travel Massive is a world wide network of travel industry insiders and local chapters organise free networking events allowing people in the travel industry to get together, network, share information and, ultimately, do business. I am one of the Travel Massive Port Elizabeth chapter leaders and last night's event was one of four events taking place at the same time…
I have to admit, I haven't got a Port Elizabeth photo for you today. It's a combination of things, mostly bad luck coupled with being fairly busy at the moment. My external hard drive crashed a little while ago and with it went all my family and travel photos. It's going to cost me around R8k to have the contents retrieved in a specialist environment.
