The Forgotten Staircase

Some time this week I decided to swing through Mill Park to do a new cache that was published in the area. The cache is called The Forgotten Staircase and on my way there I kinda wondered what the name of the cache referred to. Turned out to be an actual stairway linking Mill Park … Continue reading The Forgotten Staircase →

Then and Now – Beachfront Fun fair

Driving past Kings Beach yesterday morning I noticed that "Playland" (because that is what we still call it even if it has a different name these days) is busy setting up for the coming summer holidays. Just the day before Cat Anderson James posted a Fun fair Then and Now on the Ex PE 60's 70's, … Continue reading Then and Now – Beachfront Fun fair →

My guess was that it encloses a pipe and once I guessed that I wondered if it isn't the pipe that was used to pump water … Continue reading Surf wall →

Walking the dogs

The exams are over and the Damselfly and I are confident that we will be passing grades 4 and 7 successfully again this year. Did it mean that there was time to finally get out there and take some photos again seeing that I've run out? Well, not really. There was a little time this … Continue reading Walking the dogs →

The view from the top of the Compass Berg

Seeing that I normally (try to) do a Geocaching related post on a Saturday, I really wanted to share this with you today even though it isn't in Port Elizabeth. A couple of Geocachers got together in Nieu-Bethesda for a caching event tonight and one of the Port Elizabeth cachers up there for the event … Continue reading The view from the top of the Compass Berg →
