East London lies along the banks of the Bufallo River. Wide stretches of unspoilt beaches and lagoons offer all delights of a traditional seaside holiday, while the city has a unique blend of old-world charm and modern hustle and bustle. The many German names of local towns and villages in the area like Hamburg, Berlin and Stutterheim attest to the presence of Germans who arrived here in the 1850's. The prosperity of the region is built on the Motor Vehivle Industrie (If you buy a Mercedes in the UK it will come from East London). Museums of interest in East London are the Calgary Transport Museum displaying a collection of every type of wagon, including an authentic Roma caravan. |
