Koffiebus and Teebus on a moody day in the Karoo

The Karoo Heartland has a unique beauty which I have really learned to appreciate more and more as I have gotten older. If you're a forest or beach person then the Karoo may not be for you, but if big skies and open spaces feed your soul then there is no better place. One of … Continue reading Koffiebus and Teebus on a moody day in the Karoo →

Wiggles in the sand at Kings Beach

It seems somewhere I've lost a whole week of posts. No, not in lost, but in just so busy that I haven't even been able to think about blogging. I need days to be extended by 3 or 4 hours so that I can have some extra time to just sit back, relax and, most … Continue reading Wiggles in the sand at Kings Beach →

A Saturday morning stroll

On Saturday morning we went for a walk along Kings Beach to enjoy the beautiful weather we had over the weekend. Miggie was feeling a little under the weather and not her normal bubbly self so strolled along by herself to the one side. Of cause dad always has his camera...

Peace and Blessing

I think I'm going to take a little break from Campanile posts before people get tired of it. I have a few more but will keep it back for a week or two. Route 67 literally has 67 art pieces scattered along the way between the Donkin Reserve and Campanile. Next to the bus station … Continue reading Peace and Blessing →

Campanile view – Looking south towards the beachfront

This is the last of the Campanile View trio of posts (There should have been four but it seems I never took a pic out the new big viewing window of the whole harbour). Unfortunately the south viewing window doesn't open like the north and west windows, probably because the new lift's doors is right … Continue reading Campanile view – Looking south towards the beachfront →

A Ninja Turtle problem in East London

I was in East London a couple of weeks ago and noticed the neighbourhood watch board on the guesthouse gate. Neighbourhood watch groups do an amazing job getting residents together and curbing crime in residential areas and I live in a suburb with a very active neighbourhood watch. Looking at this board though I thought … Continue reading A Ninja Turtle problem in East London →

Campanile view – Looking west towards Central

Yesterday I posted a picture of the view looking north from the Campanile observation floor. It means I have three more directions and what's the use of showing you only one? So here is the view to the west. The Settlers Freeway is at the bottom and slightly to the left of the centre of the picture is … Continue reading Campanile view – Looking west towards Central →

Beware the Warthog

Being from the Eastern Cape we all know that there are areas where you have to be very careful driving at night. Unlike our friends in the Big Smoke it's not robbers and highjackers we have to be careful of, but rather Kudus. These big antelope jump fences up to 2 meters tall and come … Continue reading Beware the Warthog →

Campanile view – Looking north along the Settlers Freeway

There are four viewing windows at the top of the Campanile. The new full-length viewing window looks out to the east over the Port Elizabeth Harbour. The view south is towards the beachfront, west across the city centre towards the Donkin Reserve and then north along the Settlers Freeway. Looking at the picture the Settlers Freeway … Continue reading Campanile view – Looking north along the Settlers Freeway →

The Campanile’s new viewing window

One of the new features of the recently refurbished Campanile is a full-length viewing window on the harbour side of the tower. The window has caused some ruptions with historic purists but personally I think its a great addition. The window really gives the best view of the adjacent Port Elizabeth Harbour and all its … Continue reading The Campanile’s new viewing window →
