Feeding Koi at the Barrydale "water front"
Barrydale on Route 62 in the Klein Karoo is a pretty little town known for the beautiful surrounding mountains offering various walks, the Tradouw Pass, quint gardens, interesting shops and farm stalls, restaurants popular with passing tour groups and the very famous Ronnie's SEX Shop down the road.

Oudebosch Farmstall
After visiting the Tsitsikamma twice over the last two weeks I decided to do a short series on things to do and attractions in the area. Obviously those mentioned will be those I got to go to and unfortunately the Tsitsikamma National Park wasn't amongst them.

Spending the weekend at The Milk House in Hankey
The Gamtoos Valley west of Port Elizabeth is often just seen as the entrance to the Baviaanskloof yet its a tranquil and very scenic farming area.

Before manager Coach and braai master Scott or any … Continue reading Buying meat at Chilleks Place

There are a couple of restaurants around town that serve really good ribs. The one at the top of my list at the moment is Cubata in Sydenham close to the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

New Cash Store ribs
The Old Cash Store on Sardinia Bay Road has been a popular spot over the years but since October last year something has changed. Well, for a start the name did. It's now called The New Cash Store. But a name change did just fall from the sky. It came with new owners Doug and … Continue reading New Cash Store ribs

Sushi at Fushin
I'm probably one of the few people who's never tried sushi. That was until the other day. I took a group of bloggers for lunch in Stanley Street in Richmond Hill and after sussing out the restaurants on the strip we decided to go for Fushin. My companions decided to order a couple of sushi … Continue reading Sushi at Fushin
