I love getting emails from followers of PE Daily Photo and The Firefly Photo Files, but it gets even better when I get mails like the one sent to me by Socratis "Socks" who was the last owner of the Palm Beach Roadhouse at Flat Rocks. He has sent me some pictures of the roadhouse to post … Continue reading Flashback – Palm Beach Roadhouse

Ironman weekend
Ironman is probably the biggest event staged in Port Elizabeth and right up there to what the Argus cycle race is to Cape Town and the Comrades Marathon to Durban. But Ironman isn't just one day of ordinary sports men and women doing extra ordinary things, its a whole weekend of awesomeness and this past … Continue reading Ironman weekend

Ominous skies over Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth sometimes has the tendency to produce four seasons in one day. A week ago we had a nice hot autumn day that makes one think that we're still in the midst of summer. During the afternoon the Damselfly and I went on a cruise in Algoa Bay on the Jester and suddenly the weather … Continue reading Ominous skies over Port Elizabeth

For a while now I've been eyeing Bird Rock on the beachfront thinking it could be a great site for an "extreme" terrain 5 cache and the other day I took a swim out there with fellow cachers Seekoei and erenei to place one … Continue reading Bird Rock on the PE beachfront
Splash Waterworld Super Tube
The Super Tube at Kings Beach has become one of the Port Elizabeth beachfront landmarks a long time ago and is still as popular as possible. Drama Princess turned nine last week and yesterday (Saturday) we had her birthday party at the Super Tube. It's even more fun as I remember and things have changed … Continue reading Splash Waterworld Super Tube
