Self-catering interior decor in Kwelera, East London

Interior decor is certainly not just for city-dwellers or accommodation places within the city.  Get creative and liven up your countryside self-catering interior decor like Petra and Spuds Self Catering have.  Wooden antique looks are just so quaint and it makes more sense when this kind of interior decor is found in the countryside, blending, somewhat, with the area.  This photo was taken just inside the entrance to Petra and Spuds Self-Catering in Kwelera Village, East London - in the East Coast Resorts area.

Areena giraffe eating Eastern Cape thorn trees for breakfast

This giraffe at Areena Riverside Resort is still young, but already so tall, and is enjoying lovely dark green leaves for breakfast.  The green leaves are amongst the thorns of the sweet thorn acacia thorn tree which grow all over the Eastern Cape.  Acacia sweet thorn trees also make for wonderful bonsai trees. Imagine your own collection of little thorn tree bonsai trees in your own garden, whether you live in the countryside or not. These thorn trees blossom with beautiful puffy yellow blossoms once a year.  It's a wonderful sight to view yellow (thorn tree blossoms), green (thorn trees), and blue (lovely blue skies) all over the countryside at certain times of the year - then, just add a giraffe or two, and you have the perfect countryside.  This giraffe at Areena is fairly tame and you can go right up to it and pet it.  One only really gets the full idea of how tall a giraffe really is when one is standing right next to a giraffe, stroking its head.

Rural countryside near Kei Mouth and Seagulls beach hotel in the Transkei

These sheep were just a few of the many farm animals we encountered on the way to Seagulls beach hotel in January 2009. The drive on this 20 km dirt road between the pontoon at Kei River in Kei Mouth, and the gorgeous little seaside holiday spot, Seagulls beach hotel, is all part of the holiday getaway and escape from the city - East London, in South Africa is not a terribly large city, but this little countryside road is still an escape! Some of the other animals that we met in this wonderful little country environment were: cows, bulls, goats, ducks, geese, chickens, donkeys - plenty of animals. Ah, the countryside!
