Boardwalk Lake

This is post #4 in the Boardwalk series of this week. The Boardwalk lake forms the centre of the complex with the retail, food and entertainment areas all surrounding it. The lake is also where the Fountain Spectacular with its colourful lights and music takes place every evening.

Merry-go-round

The Boardwalk has a wide variety of children's activities and entertainment ranging from putt-putt and go-carts to bumper boats and a game centre. I think my favorite entertainment item, even if its just in looks, is the good ol' traditional merry-go-round. Not just does little kids love it, it makes for great photography as well.

Mermaid fountain

This is post #2 in the Boardwalk series I'm posting this week. In front of the casino entrance there is a fountain with a mermaid and two dolphins as centre piece. I don't know why but it has fascinated me since I saw it the first time. The fountain has also become a bit of … Continue reading Mermaid fountain →

Hobie Beach and Boardwalk panorama

I took this panorama of Hobie Beach with the Boardwalk Hotel and Conference Centre in the background from the Jester the other day. Cruising on the Jester does give one a whole new angle to look at the Port Elizabeth beachfront from and you just realise again how beautiful our beachfront is.

Boardwalk Hotel from the sea

The Boardwalk Hotel and Convention Centre has really changed the beachfront skyline since it opened a year ago. I've heard that some people think it looks out of place while comparing it to a Disney like castle while others absolutely love it. But love it or hate it, the hotel and convention centre has become an integral part of the … Continue reading Boardwalk Hotel from the sea →

Boardwalk wonderland

After dark the Boardwalk Complex truly turns into a wonderland with all the lights lining the building and reflecting in the water of the lake.

The Wine Show 2013

I'm not a huge wine drinker. Not that I don't want to but because I never really learned to drink wine. Don't get me wrong though. I enjoy a good wine as much as the next guy as long as it's something like a late harvest or a sweet Rosé. This past weekend The Wine Show Nelson … Continue reading The Wine Show 2013 →
