Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Campanile view - Looking south towards the beachfront: This is the last of the Campanile View trio of posts (There should have been four but it seems I never took a pic out the new big viewing window of the whole harbour). Unfortunately the south viewing window doesn't open like the north and west windows, probably because the new lift's doors is right by the window.

A Ninja Turtle problem in East London – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: A Ninja Turtle problem in East London: I was in East London a couple of weeks ago and noticed the neighbourhood watch board on the guesthouse gate.

Looking at this board though I thought to myself that we're very lucky in our area not to have a Ninja … [Read more...] about A Ninja Turtle problem in East London – Featured Blog

Beware the Warthog – Featured Blog
Today's posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger: Beware the Warthog: Being from the Eastern Cape we all know that there are areas where you have to be very careful driving at night.
