A Boardwalk snap

It isn't always easy to maintain the daily pace of Port Elizabeth Daily Photo especially if I've been as busy as I have been the last few weeks.

Boardwalk fountains (in blue)

I'm currently in Durban at Tourism Indaba promoting the Eastern Cape, learning, observing and networking. Unfortunately I also just realized that I have very much run out of pictures thanks to all the travelling I have been doing lately.

A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Is there a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow? For a few perhaps. Not for everybody. But one can hope though.

Putt Putt gardens

One of the things I enjoyed most about a visit to Sun City in North West Province a couple of years ago was the beautiful gardens that surrounded the hotels. The Boardwalk doesn't quite have the space to lay out such elaborate gardens and waterways, but they do have a stunning little tropical corner around … Continue reading Putt Putt gardens →
