For the first time since I got here, I got some solid sleep! We head out for a bike ride in Beachview, along the coast just outside Port Elizabeth. We continue our bike ride, about 24 km up and down beautiful hills and sand dunes. The scenery and the vegetation are just beautiful and the weather could not be any better. We come back and just relax at home, then we go out for some shopping and I go to a biltong shop.


Late afternoon we go for a ride to Cape Recife Park. The beach is beautiful, and there is a plethora of coelenterates and molusk shells washed in the shore, including abalone. We see several shorebird species such as african black oyster catchers, swift and common terns and kelp gulls. There is a light house, which was the fourth light house built in South Africa in the 18th century. We go to a nearby pup, watch some rugby while drinking some beers and then we have dinner. I order calamari, which is quite fresh and good.
