Water under the bridge at the dip

During the recent heavy rains the 3rd Avenue Dip was closed a couple of times again. After it opened up Drama Princess asked if we could stop down at the bottom because she wanted to see the water. The Baakens River was still flowing strong and water was gushing through the pipes under the road.Looking … Continue reading Water under the bridge at the dip →

When people talk about the Eastern Cape, Wild Coast and Transkei then the road are always one of the first things mentioned. "The road is bad." "The road is full of potholes." "The road this", "the road that" and "the road whatever". I've never been further than just past East London and got to fly to … Continue reading The road through the Transkei →

Marine Drive on the Wildside

I think most Port Elizabethans take Marine Drive along the Wildside for granted. I took a location scout from Cape Town that way last week and she was very impressed with the stunning views you get of the coastline from the road. It may not be Chapmans Peak Drive, but it sure can be classified … Continue reading Marine Drive on the Wildside →

Grysbok Reserve road

Very few people know that the South Campus of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University is situated on a nature reserve. The Grysbos Nature Reserve can be accessed (with permission) from the campus along this road. I went to a meeting at the campus and snapped the pic over the gate on my way past.
