True Colours-ART to uplift, developed an art project for little surfers, which was launched about 6 months ago with this animation. They have … Continue reading The Surf ART project →

Sunset on the Zuurberg Mountains

An afternoon trip to Addo for an early evening meeting had me arrive in the area an hour or so early. Problem? Not at all. Doesn't matter where you are, if you have a passion for travel and is a Geocacher to boot, there will always be something to see, do or find. This day … Continue reading Sunset on the Zuurberg Mountains →

Something Good Graffiti – the alien head

This piece of graffiti in front of Something Good really caught my attention. Not because of it's size or the colours or artistic techniques, but rather the subject. Not quite ET, not quite Gollum. Whoevere and whatever he is, he's clearly fascinated by that fishing hook he's holding.

Just a couple of minutes sitting in the forest next to a stream taking in the forest with all my senses is … Continue reading Exploring the old Storms River Pass →

Nanaga roosterkoek

Stopping at the Nanaga Farmstall for their delicious pies have become an institution over the years. Not everybody is always in the mood for a pie though. No problemo. They also have mouthwatering roosterkoek. I like mine with jam and cheese. How do you like yours?

Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood

Having a food and wine lover on a road trip means the trip is likely to be interrupted at some stage or another to indulge, or at least enjoy in moderation, either or both of these. This is what happened on a recent road trip to Cape Town with fellow tourism peeps and Geocachers Shefetswe and Erenei. … Continue reading Clinking glasses and eating cheese at Packwood →

The Cockscomb on the horizon

Last weekend we took part in the Gamtoos Adventure Drive around the towns of Loerie and Hankey west of Port Elizabeth. At one of the stops on one of the back roads between the towns I snapped this photo of the Cockscomb Mountains beyond the rolling hills of this part of the valley. With a … Continue reading The Cockscomb on the horizon →
