A tray of beer tasters for a group busy with a brewery tour at Bridge Street Brewery. I'm not much of a drinker but I love their award winning Pilsner, made right there at Bridge Street by legendary beer brewer Lex Mitchell himself.

Takazi Waterfall – hidden on the Wild Coast
One of the first things I did when I knew I was getting to explore the Wild Coast a little bit was to check if there will be any Geocaches on the route I was going to follow. Although there weren't a whole lot I made sure I saved those I would be able to … Continue reading Takazi Waterfall – hidden on the Wild Coast
Fish Eagles at Sundays
A cruise on the Sundays River to go sand sledding had us spot a pair of fish eagles next to the river. What a sighting! Wish they were closer though cause this was the best I could do with my long lens.
Brookes-on-the-Bay view
Earlier this week I had a coffee meeting at Primi at Brookes-on-the-Bay. Just for those who don't know where Brookes-on-the-Bay is. It used to be called Brookes Pavilion. Heading back down the outside steps to my car I just had to snap this pic with my mobile. You can't but help love the stunning views … Continue reading Brookes-on-the-Bay view
Wrestling with the South African flag
People don't want to believe me when I tell them that the Great (South African) Flag on the Donkin Reserve is 15 meters by 10 meters in size. That's about the size of a tennis court.

Snacks at Bridge Street
The fare at Tuesday evening's launch of Travel Massive Port Elizabeth at Bridge Street Brewery. Craft beer and focaccia. The bad part of it was that I was doing the talk with my beer in hand while everybody else were tucking in on the snacks. *sigh*
The good, the bad and the ugly of the Wild Coast
The Wild Coast has always been one of those within reach yet just a tad too far away destinations for me. Living in Port Elizabeth I have travelled down the Garden Route and through the western part of the Eastern Cape quite extensively, but the Great Kei River beyond East London was like a hurdle I … Continue reading The good, the bad and the ugly of the Wild Coast

Travel Massive originally started over a six pack of beers on a hotel roof in Sydney, Australia and has expanded to a network of travel industry insiders (from accommodation … Continue reading Travel Massive Port Elizabeth
The Obelisk water troughs
If you know a bit about Port Elizabeth's history then you will know that at one stage there was an obelisk standing on Market Square in front of the City Hall. The obelisk is known as The Prince of Wales Obelisk and was brought to South Africa by the founder of the Eastern Province Herald, John … Continue reading The Obelisk water troughs
