"The friendly city" a Port Elizabeth Travel Page by morne

I was invited by a friend to travel with her to Port Elizabeth and then fly back home as she was going further and I did not have more free time. We set off from CT early in the morning and took the N2 north. It was a lovely morning and we were really enjoying each other's company. Unfortunately there were lots of road works along the way and we only got to PE at 18h05. We booked into the hotel and then set out to explore the friendly city. We went down to the Waterfront area and much to our digust all the shops and restaurants were closed. The casino was open so we ventured in and decided to have supper at their restaurant. At 21h00 the lights went off but fortunately came back on after 5 min's. By this time my friend was in stiches with laughter. She use to live in PE and told me all along the way that at 22h00 someone put the city lights off, so when this happened she just cracked. They had been experiencing power failures all day long, hence all the shop/restaurant closures.
