Nelson Mandela Bay – The place I call home. – Featured Blog

Earlier in the week I came across this awesome YouTube video on Facebook posted by Renaldo Gouws.  Renaldo is well known for his political related comments but this time he sent his drone up to show off this beautiful place he (and I) call home.  This particular video shows off a bit of the Kings Beach area and it would be great to see similar videos from him in future.

One of the main reasons we wanted to go down and support the runners along Beach Road during Ironman was to cheer on four of our friends taking part.  We parked our camp chairs in front of the McArthur pool complex and settled in for the evening. 

Our friend B had a tough time on the second loop of the bike so she was slightly behind the others but we decided to stick it out till she passed us the last time.  At 10:15 pm the road was starting to get a bit deserted.  Only the last die hard supporters who still had friends and family on the road stuck around while the number of runners declined with every minute.  B came by with a smile on her face and gave us the thumbs up.  Only 6 more kilometers to go till the announcer would tell her, “YOU ARE AN IRONMAN!!!” which he did.  Well done girl!
