Humewood slipway from the sea
The Jester has opened up a whole new world of sightseeing in Port Elizabeth for those who don't have access to a boat to see the beachfront and city from the bay. This is Humewood Beach with the old slipway pillars in the foreground and the Town Lodge Hotel in the back.

The little tug that could
Everybody knows (I hope) the story of The Little Engine that could. He of "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can" fame. In this day and age where steam trains are becoming less and less one tends to wonder what else you can use as reference for that story.
