Blog Upgate – Cintsa 20 February 2013
Our night last night was disturbed. Both the dogs were restless and John awake round 3ish, the brain working overtime with alleydocking, changing gears, handbrake up, check the intersection, blind spot, blind spot, mirror. Shew, so much to remember. His license date creeping closer and closer. We both seemed to also fight with the duvet. […]
Blog Update – Cintsa 19 February 2013
After our wandel along the beach, we had to be back by 9.30am latest. I was expecting Trevor for a laser treatment as he had fallen on the rocks over the weekend and bruised or cracked his ribs quite badly, so was in a lot of pain. John had to be off at 10am for […]

Blog Update – 28 th January 2013 – 16 February 2013
Leaving Grahamstown, for me, was the nicest feeling ever…I felt relaxed again. We had decided to head to Morgan Bay, but in Grahamstown, having my hair done, I chatted to some of the local ladies who often visited a place called Cintsa Bay. They raved about it and it is the start of the Jikeleza […]

Makana Resort – Grahamstown
Makana Resort is situated on the Port Elizabeth road coming into Grahamstown. A mere 10 minute walk into the heart of the village, so very central, if you have no vehicle. Nice grassy sites, all with private ablutions and braai facilities. Also available are cottages in various sizes and gradings. Although the manageress advised me […]
The Willows Resort and Conference Centre – Port Elizabeth
Who said Port Elizabeth was the ‘friendly city’?????? NO, NOT. But, The Willows Resort and Conference Centre WAS, YES. Situated only a few meters from the beach, on the “wild side” of the Port Elizabeth coastline, The Willows is a fisherman’s dream with rugged, rocky outcrops, and a child’s paradise with endless rock pools to […]
Green Fountain Farm Resort and Caravan Park – Port Alfred
Oh WOW, what an amazing location. Their slogan ‘a piece of paradise nestled in nature’, describes exactly what it is. Owner run and abely assisted by Jannie and her husband, Green Fountain is definitely a place I would revisit again. The resort has a little of everything, 22 upmarket thatched villas that are available for […]
ADDO Main Camp
From Port Elizabeth, about 74kms to the main entrance of ADDO. We arrived round lunchtime and were told to choose a C site (caravan site), anyone not being used. So John and I after leaving the campervan and the zook at reception, took a stroll around the C-sites. All the C-sites were shady, had a […]
Cintsa Beach Walk
It was another lazy Saturday afternoon in Cintsa. Tina was indulging in a siesta so I decided to take the dogs for a leisurely beach walk. One of the most appealing things about Cintsa is the pristine sandy beach that follows the curve of the bay for miles. Tina and I had noticed an astonishing […]
