Anybody blindfolded and flown around the country before being dropped off at the Jazzy Boozy Cheezy Affaire would have been excused if they guessed their destination to be somewhere in the Cape Winelands after seeing what was around them. They would have been very wrong though. The JBC wasn't taking place in the Cape Wineland. … Continue reading A classy day at the Jazzy Boozy Cheezy Affaire

Oudebosch – the perfect stop in the Tsitsikamma
It was a cold and somewhat wet winters afternoon and were heading back to Port Elizabeth after a very enjoyable pre-cold front weekend in The Crags. Driving along the N2, most people make their comfort and coffee / food stop at Storms River Bridge. I haven't done that for a number of years now Not since discovering the Oudebosch Farmstall … Continue reading Oudebosch – the perfect stop in the Tsitsikamma
Snacks at Bridge Street
The fare at Tuesday evening's launch of Travel Massive Port Elizabeth at Bridge Street Brewery. Craft beer and focaccia. The bad part of it was that I was doing the talk with my beer in hand while everybody else were tucking in on the snacks. *sigh*
Baviaans Lodge – a special oasis in the southern Baviaanskloof
The Baviaanskloof must be on the bucket list of a lot of South African travellers. Stunning scenic beauty which, if she was a person, would put her in the top three of a Miss Universe competition. Isolation, but not like just around the corner where you can't hear the traffic. A true wilderness area. UNESCO World … Continue reading Baviaans Lodge – a special oasis in the southern Baviaanskloof

Trying new menu items at Fratelli Foods

Fratelli is an Italian Deli and Coffee Bar and at that stage they hadn't even had their signage up yet but I … Continue reading Trying new menu items at Fratelli Foods
Food and wine paring presented by Shefetswe
So they say that wine is the "Nectar of the Gods". Personally I prefer fruit juice or a Crème Soda, but I'm not totally anti wine. I just never learned to drink it and even though I won't touch a red I wouldn't say no to a nice sweet Rose or late harvest. Even in saying … Continue reading Food and wine paring presented by Shefetswe
Boerewors Roll queue
The guys who do the most business at any festival or show are the guys with the food stalls. This was again evident at Art in the Park this past Sunday. As lunch time started to come around the queues at the food stalls started to grow. Pancakes, burgers, springrolls and specifically this stall selling … Continue reading Boerewors Roll queue
