Lazy days on the Sundays River

Standing on the deck at Dungbeetle River Lodge on the Sundays River in Colchester, this is the view you have. Ahhh, lazy days on the banks of the Sundays River.

Lunch time at This is Eat

Have you ever had lunch at This is Eat at the harbour? Not? You're only missing the best takeaway fish and calamari at the best prices in town. Last week we had a quick lunch time Geocaching event at the restaurant and as I'm on diet I had to sit and watch my friends eat. … Continue reading Lunch time at This is Eat →

Despatch at sunset from the air

It's not often that you find much about Despatch on the internet and definitely not many videos. So I was quite surprised to find this one done by Renaldo Gouws featuring some aerial footage he shot with his drone over the town at sunset.

Pork passanger

We've all seen pictures (or in real life) of Red Bill Oxpeckers sitting on rhino, buffalo, giraffe or some of the other bigger animals. Taking a drive through Addo the other day I got to see a similar scene but it didn't include a Red Bill Oxpecker nor a big animal. This time it was … Continue reading Pork passanger →

At the top of Boys Drive I pulled over to enjoy the view of Muizenberg Beach from the lookout where one of the shark spotters is based. The Shark … Continue reading Shark Spotters over Muizenberg →

The old Fig Tree in South End (across the road on the harbour side from the South End Museum) predates all living memory and is said to be well over 100 years old. Back in the days pre the removal of everybody and everything from South End due to the implementation of the Group Areas … Continue reading Then and Now – The South End Fig Tree →

Riverside breakfast

Late last week I had a meeting at Dungbeetle River Lodge on the Sundays River in Colchester. The owners always have lekker snacks and lunch lined up when we have a meeting there and this time was no different. Best of all, the weather was perfect and we could have our meeting on the deck … Continue reading Riverside breakfast →

Getting lost in the Redberry Maze in George

Literally for the last couple of years now the Damselfly has wanted to visit Redberry Farm in George on the Garden Route. We just never had the opportunity to be in the area long enough to do so until we spent a long weekend in the town recently. It meant that Redberry Farm was at the … Continue reading Getting lost in the Redberry Maze in George →

End of the line

It is sad to see all the unused railway infrastructure around Port Elizabeth either on the harbour, around Humewood or next to the Settlers Freeway. After a lunchtime event at This is Eat on the harbour I grabbed the camera for a couple of photos before heading back to the office.
