A Portuguese Visitor....

Across the bay, seen from Richmond Hill, with the old Milling Building in the foreground.

waiting across the bay, before entering the harbour. note the oyster beds in the foreground.


We are delighted to have the Portuguese Navy training tall ship Sagres in port this weekend! If you are in Port Elizabeth, you can board her at Quay 2 on Saturday from 2-6pm and 8-10pm, and on Sunday and Monday from 10am to 12 noon, 2-6pm and 8-10pm. One of our fellow City Daily Photo bloggers is a sailing fanatic called Sailor Girl, who lives in Lisbon. She has featured this ship many times, and has some beautiful photos on her blog, here and here, and a wonderful one of Sagres under full sail here.
