Port Elizabeth or PE as it is called by the locals. The city has some really nice architecture but it has lost its glory over time. The city centre is not what it used to be and the main shopping street only hosts some B and C class stores. Of course we had some trouble finding a good parking spot. As Dutch as I am, I wanted to park as close to the sights as possible. Eventually we parked near city hall not knowing it was a taxi stand. Just after we left we realised why people where wondering about our decision to park in that spot :) Next time we know.

Be careful at the beaches after sunset. Some places are not as safe as they appear to be. If you are looking for hotels or guesthouses you have to go to the outskirts of the city near the beach. A lot of them are with gates and you have to look twice before you find them. It gave us a clear idea on safety in that area, but to be honest we didn't encounter any unsafe situations.
