Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Port Elizabeth (PE) is the 5th largest city in South Africa.

Surprisingly, I ended up spending a week there.

It now forms part of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality which has a population of over 1.3 million. …

I’d never heard of the city before. It had a reputation for street crime.

But improvements made leading up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup seem to have made a big difference.

Summerstrand beach, the main area for tourists, is considered relatively safe.

The city is beautiful with many attractions, including Addo Elephant Park. Many complain about the WIND. 🙂
