Setting off on the trail
Yesterday's photo showed the wooden steps down to the coast at Schoenmakerskop which is one of the paths that start you off on the Sacramento Trail. After turning around from that view you make your way along the path through the rocks and over the little fresh water streams before passing over this spot. Once you … Continue reading Setting off on the trail
Down to the Schoenies coastline
I have spent so much time away from home lately either on business or holiday, that I haven't done much around Port Elizabeth over the last month or two and thus has started to run out of PE photographs. Yesterday I just had to get out cause the house was closing in on me and the need … Continue reading Down to the Schoenies coastline
Humpback Dolphin Trail

The section from Polock Beach onwards was only completed about a year or so ago and consist mainly of these "planks" made of recycled plastic.

Tugela Gorge
One of the must do's when you are in the Drakensberg is the day hike up the Tugela Gorge. On my matric (final year at school) tour nearly *mumble mumble* 20 years ago we did part of the hike and it was at the top of my list of things to do while we were in the … Continue reading Tugela Gorge
Lookout Rock / Tiger Falls Hike
The first short hike we did on our stay in the Royal Natal National Park in the Drakensberg was a 6km round trip starting at the gate of the Mahai campsite. The route took in sights like Tiger Falls, Lookout Rock and the Cascades and takes one up a very steep climb and gradually back down in … Continue reading Lookout Rock / Tiger Falls Hike
