Playing on the Donkin

I climbed to the top of the Donkin Lighthouse the other day for a couple of pics and ... (yes, I am addicted) ... a geocache. There was a couple of people with a group of kiddies playing by the Anton Momberg sculpture and I couldn't but help to snap a picture of them.

Forest road

Do you think this picture was taken somewhere in a forest in the Tsitsikamma or Hogsback? Nope, it was taken at the end of St Clair's Way on Lovemore Heights at Humble Ways Retreat.

John Shelton Park

In the suburb or Humewood is a park called John Shelton Park with a stone pillar with marble plaque on it and everything. Problem is that the plaque only says "John Shelton Park" and doesn't say who John Shelton was. I'm curious but haven't found anything on the internet yet. The search continues.Edited on 08/04/2013 … Continue reading John Shelton Park →

Wellington Park

One of the things I've discovered since I've taken up geocaching is that even though I thought I knew everything there is to see in and around Port Elizabeth, I haven't. I've already been to at least three spots I've never visited before and I have another two new places lined up. One of those I … Continue reading Wellington Park →

Open air theatre

St Georges Park has a stunning outdoor theatre venue called Mannville which (used to) host the annual Port Elizabeth Shakespearean Festival. Unfortunately due to people who feel that they are entitled to other folks' property and those who purposefully go out and damage what is not theirs, the festival has been moved to indoor theatres the last two … Continue reading Open air theatre →

Conservatory fountain

The Pearson Conservatory is really looking stunning since its refurb two years ago. Gaelyn from Geogypsy is on tour through South Africa and I was very fortunate that she spent the day with me yesterday. She had seen most of the places we visited on PE Daily Photo before, but seeing it in real life is … Continue reading Conservatory fountain →

St Georges Park flower

Valentines Day is a day of flowers. Personally I prefer the flowers in the garden or the wild rather than sitting in a vase inside. So to celebrate Valentines Day I'm posting a pic of a Bromeliad flower in St Georges Park, photographed when we went in search of a Geocache there the other day.

St Georges Park’s first tree

Perhaps the title of the post is a little bit misleading, but "The site of the first tree in St Georges Park which was blown over and isn't there anymore" would be a little too long. The first tree to be planted in the park was done so during the official establishment of the park in … Continue reading St Georges Park’s first tree →

Walter Sesulu Botanical Garden

There is always something new to see even if one has been to a place many times. This is even true of one's own home town, but this isn't a story on my home town. There is so much I haven't seen around Johannesburg and Gauteng, but I don't always have a lot of free time … Continue reading Walter Sesulu Botanical Garden →

Kidz Adventures – Exploring PE’s history

During the school holidays its always a bit of a challenge to keep bored children busy. Most parents end up taking them to the movies, for ice cream at Micky D's, playing putt putt and games or one of the party places with jungle gyms and trampolines. Me? Well, I try to spend at least a day with … Continue reading Kidz Adventures – Exploring PE’s history →
