My trip to Port Elizabeth

Well everypony I'm back! I'm happy to see you guys again!

Port Elizabeth was amazing!

(ok not so much the drive there but anyway)

We got there and were shown the B&B We'd be staying at. A very cute little place here was our room (Part of it)

And we had a beautiful view from the door.

And I took a few photo's on my phone, Unfortunately I can't put them here, so I'll just describe the city to you

Port Elizabeth is a huge bustling city, very clean, yet very populated in the centre of town, when you come in you can see the wide stretch of city. It stretches for about 20 kilometres around the Coastline, and it built around Algoa Bay. It has a source or Green energy (Wind turbines)

But it also has various factories that involve much use of Sulphur.
The people in there are a lot of Fun! We were at a mall getting supper, when all of a sudden a random shopper jumped onto his cart and rode it down a ramp at top speed till we got to a wall and slammed into it (Right by his car)

The Sport fixtures (Main reason why we were there) Were very fun to watch, A fight broke out in the rugby match (Foul play on the oppositions part)
and a Rugby ball was kicked so far it landed in the middle of a hockey match, causing mass confusion in both matches.

On the way back, we stopped off at a farm stall,where you needed to pay to get into the bathrooms. There was a large group of about 10 or so of us who needed the toilet but had not money, so this guy walks up with a mischievous smirk on his face, and puts the coin in, opens the door and lets everyone in saying 'Quickly! SHHH Don't tell anyone'

We all walked in laughing at his antics (You are supposed to pay per person at those stalls)

Then on our way back to East London, I saw a sign directing us to a Bed and Breakfast hotel, Guess what it was called? 'The Equestrian inn'

and finally as we were entering the final stretch of our journey, we came across a man who could not multi task to save his life. (Nor can I to say the least)

He was eating a sandwich while driving, and every now and again his car would slow down to a crawl, then speed up. Upon overtaking him, we realised that whenever he took a bite of his meal and chewed, he idled his car as he could not drive while chewing XD.

So that was my trip and I enjoyed it thoroughly Although I will admit the 4 hour drive was a bit tedious.

    You should have punched that guy who took a joy ride in a cart for me. That's incredibly reckless, and those carts aren't indestructible. If one breaks, the company's the one that has to pay for it. :angry:

    Also, pay for bathrooms? Wat. That may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If they tried that over here, there would be rioting in the streets. :derpe:

    Someone risks his health by going Jackass on a shopping cart and you worry about the company having to pay for the damage? :derpe:


    And paying to use a public bathroom is actually pretty common in some places. In fact, some hotels are such rip-offs, i once stayed at a hotel where you had to go down to the lobby to buy a bar of soap... <_< (and ofcourse it was incredibly over-priced)
