Coega gantries in the mist

This week's posts are turning into a mini Wells Estate series. Wells Estate is situated close to the Coega Harbour and standing on the end of the pier you can see the harbour with all its gantries and cranes. On my visit it was foggy out Coega way and the cranes looked like specters in the … Continue reading Coega gantries in the mist →

Looking back on Wells Estate Pier

After yesterday's post of Wells Estate Pier I decided to post another one. This time looking back along the pier from the crows nest at the end of it.

A calf was born – an unforgettable experience

I remember when I was about 8 or 9 I got to see a cow give birth on a farm I went to with my grand parents. Its something I never forgot and I always wondered if my KidZ, being city kids, would ever get the opportunity to see it happen. During our Sho't Left … Continue reading A calf was born – an unforgettable experience →

Wells Estate Pier

I want to bet that most PE Daily Photo readers who live in Port Elizabeth have never actually been to the Wells Estate pier. Yes, everybody knows where it is and have seen the blue buildings along the N2 just outside Bluewater Bay, but who has ever turned off to have a look. Although I've been … Continue reading Wells Estate Pier →

Yes there are places that most locals would never be able to afford to visit, but there are more places that are affordable to visit and even more things that you can do that actually doesn't cost you anything. South African Tourism encourages … Continue reading Sho’t Left to the Crags and Natures Valley →

Surfing dolphins

On my way to Colchester for a meeting I had some time to play with and decided to stop at Wells Estate to snap a couple of pictures (and look for a Geocache). Standing on the end of the Wells Estate Pier I noticed a pod of dolphins swimming along the shoreline just behind the waves. Suddenly … Continue reading Surfing dolphins →

Groenvlei jetty

The lakes district between Knysna and Wilderness on the Garden Route is made up of a series of lakes, most of them visible from the N2 itself. Out of all those lakes, Groenvlei - just east of Sedgefield - is the only one that is a fresh water lake and without an inlet or an outlet. The lake is maintained … Continue reading Groenvlei jetty →

An Incidental Tourist at Shark Rock Pier

Last week two fellow travel bloggers, Dawn Jorgensen (The Incidental Tourist) and Di Brown (The Roaming Giraffe) came on a four night Sho't Left trip to the Eastern Cape which I was very privileged to play some part in. Unfortunately I was busy over the weekend otherwise I would have joined them on the trip. … Continue reading An Incidental Tourist at Shark Rock Pier →

Discovering secret spots in the Tsitsikamma

Geocaching is the ideal activity for people who love to travel and discover new places. Yes I know I've said it before and I will say so again many times in the future. On a visit to the Tsitsikamma I went in search of a cache called Elands Delight (GCX2QF) and even though it was … Continue reading Discovering secret spots in the Tsitsikamma →
