Mountain biking at Crossways

An activity I would really like to take up if I had the time and the money for a proper bike, is mountain biking. We have some great mountain bike tracks around Port Elizabeth at places like Norm Hundlin, the Baakens Valley, Hopewell Reserve and then out at Crossways where I stopped by on Saturday … Continue reading Mountain biking at Crossways →

Early morning at Crossways

We went out to Crossways Country Kitchen for coffee with friends this morning but I probably spent more time walking around outside on a crisp winters morning than inside. And when it looked like this outside, how couldn't I?

Beachfront fun by Chasing the Rainbow

As I mentioned yesterday, although it's winter, we've had a few gloriously nice summery days which goes great with the fact that it is school holidays at the moment as well. So in the spirit of nice weather and fun times, today's Video Friday post is one from Chasing Rainbow showing fun activities they got … Continue reading Beachfront fun by Chasing the Rainbow →

Isn’t it supposed to be winter?

I took a walk down to the Pier over lunch time as it is a beautiful day outside. Not just a typical beautiful winters day, but a warm one to boot as well. Plus it is still school holidays so there are lots of people around strolling along the boardwalk, on the pier and even … Continue reading Isn’t it supposed to be winter? →

Gliding around the Wilderness lakes on a segway

Mountain biking has become a very popular pastime of late and something I'd like to find the time for to try out. Time and the money for a proper mountain bike. I really wouldn't mind a proper off road bike to travel with. You know, one of those big BMW ones. But I can barely … Continue reading Gliding around the Wilderness lakes on a segway →

North End Lake picnic spot

I found myself in North End today, driving on the road adjacent to the North End Lake. I haven't been here for a while and stopped for a look around before heading off again. I realised that where I was standing was an angle you don't see that often. It's always either looking across the … Continue reading North End Lake picnic spot →

Humble Ways Road

This afternoon I went for a drive up to Humble Ways private nature reserve on Lovemore Heights. It wasn't that I wanted to go for a walk, I just wanted to drive down the track to the gate through the vegetation tunnel around the track.

Honeymoon suite at Plantation

It feels weird to be married for 15 years and then to say you're staying in the honeymoon suite. That's what happened to us a little while ago when we spent an evening at the Plantation courtesy of a prize I won at the #ECMeetup bloggers event. If you think the room looks cool you … Continue reading Honeymoon suite at Plantation →

Plantation chapel

I won a night at The Plantation at the #ECMeetup recently and a few weeks ago the Damselfly and I made use of my prize (which I still need to post about). The afternoon after checking in we took a walk around the property and I snapped this pic of the chapel entrance - seeing … Continue reading Plantation chapel →

Driving between Wilderness and George along the back roads

Last Thursday morning I did a presentation at a tourism stakeholder workshop in the Tsitsikamma and after lunch moved on to George for a weekend exhibit. Having had some time on my hands I decided to veer off the main road and pick up a few Geocaches along Bo-Langvlei Road, the dirt road running behind … Continue reading Driving between Wilderness and George along the back roads →
