Port Elizabeth Town



Yesterday morning we decided to go on a little town trip. We got our havo sacs and got dressed and ready to go out.

We left the boat and walked down the long walk on that is probably half the trip to town on its own.

We walked down the road and we saw a marine store and it was one of the stores we wanted to get stuff from. We went inside and they had everything, From fishing gear to boat equipment to pots and pans.

After leaving the marine store we headed out of the harbour. The lady was very kind and just looked at our ID's and let us out. We walked across 5 or 6 train tracks in 5 minutes. I don't know how good all of the train tracks are because we saw a couple of abandoned trains.

We stopped at the first traffic light and were confused to where we should be going to get to the shops. We asked the guy who was at the traffic light and he gave us directions to the Spar.

It was a short walk and just next door to the Spar was a museum. It was a free entry and it gave us a small feeling of the old South Africa. It wasn't the best museum but it was free.

We then when shopping. We only took two bags with, and my mom bought 5 bags worth of groceries. We stood outside the store stripping the packages and trying to fit the groceries. People gave us weird looks and must of been thinking that we are freaks.

Just before we decided to walk back. A guy came up to us and asked us if we needed a lift. To our amazement we said yes. He gave us his car keys and said he's just going to the post office, we can go put everything in the car. He is trusting people he has never met with his car. He's a brave guy.

Once we got home we ate lunch and I when to visit my new found friend. We chilled at the bar and listened to music and watched some stupid clips on our phones. Late that afternoon we came back to my boat and we all played Risk until they had to go home. It was a day well spent.
