Port Elizabeth, South Africa 1

I have to say the image that goes with Port Elizabeth for me is serenity... Though I absolutely love looking at our mountains, the jagged curves, etc. the lack of mountains in PE just gives me a feeling of peace, calmness, solidness... That and the colours of the city, blue sky and green hills, palm trees, blue sea almost everywhere. Love the fact you can see the ocean from my friends house and from most parts in PE

(however the serenity could be attributed to the fact that I only go to PE when I'm on HOLIDAY, away from home, meetings, work, etc...)

I am not including the fact that its pretty windy in this post, because Port Elizabeth is known as the Windy City but also the Friendly City (and thats what I've experienced in my 3 holidays there). Also love the pancakes with caramel, banana and icecream... only found in 1 restaurant in Cape Town but in almost every restaurant there...



Road washed away by flood that happened just before I came there...

Really Old Library...



Port Elizabeth is named after a Lord's wife who died in India...
