When you think St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape you tend to think beautiful coastline and black and white houses on the canals. If you had to spend a weekend in St Francis you would probably expect your guesthouse to have stunning sea views or be situated right on the canals. Yes, but not … Continue reading Dune Ridge – a country jewel in the St Francis Bay crown

Weekend in the Baviaanskloof
The world renown Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches over a distance of about 200 kilometer from just west of Patensie in the Gamtoos Valley all the way to Willowmore. Although the eastern and western points are accessible by normal car, the majority of the road is very rough and a big … Continue reading Weekend in the Baviaanskloof
Kiplings T-bone
The most yummy T-bone and sides I've had in a long time was this one at Kiplings at the Boardwalk Hotel a couple of weeks ago. Nom nom nom...
Camping at Sitrusoewer
A couple of weekends ago we spent a long weekend camping on the banks of the Sundays River at Sitrusoewer just outside Kirkwood. It must be one of my favorite campsites I've ever been to. The water was literally 2 meters from the front door of our tent and we spent the whole weekend either in … Continue reading Camping at Sitrusoewer
Red Dragonfly
Even though I am known as Firefly, the Dragonfly must be my favorite insect. A long weekend at Sitrusoewer next to the Sundays River near Kirkwood had me spending a lot of time on the water in a canoe and I was amazed at seeing how many dragonflies and damselflies there were. I got this picture … Continue reading Red Dragonfly

Unfortunately I also just realized that I have very much run out of pictures thanks to all the travelling I have been doing lately. So I trawled through my mobile and found a couple of pics to share with you over … Continue reading Boardwalk fountains (in blue)
A very tall hotel
The Cascades Apartment building in Summerstrand always looked like a tall building... That was till the Radisson Blu Hotel was built. Now the Cascades look pretty tiny in comparison.
The beauty of the Langkloof
The Langkloof may not be a developed and marketed tourism route, but it is very scenic and has tons of tourism potential. Its biggest disadvantage though is that it runs parallel to the world renown and very popular Garden Route. I really enjoy driving through the Langkloof which stretches over a distance of about 200 km … Continue reading The beauty of the Langkloof
Cruising with Raggy Charters
Raggy Charters made Port Elizabeth proud during 2014 by being announced the national winner in the Marine Adventure Category of the Lilizela Tourism Awards. I found this video posted on YouTube two years or so ago by a visitor who went on one of their cruises to St Croix Island just to give you a … Continue reading Cruising with Raggy Charters
Table Bay sunset
In my home town of Port Elizabeth we get the sun rising over the sea giving beautiful sunrise picture opportunities along the beachfront. In Cape Town its the total opposite. Sunset is enjoyed with the Atlantic Ocean as setting. Usually when I am in Cape Town I like to head up to Signal Hill at … Continue reading Table Bay sunset
