I'd like to dedicate a section of the blog to the Friends of 5Oostewal - people who've visited, and inevitably have a pic & an experience to share.

Rajesh & family visited amidst the DIY week. They had a real rough time AND cought the worst weather thinkable - was just as bad as being back home in the UK! We did manage to go for a Hobie sail and had great fun. And then, despite the continued downpour we braai-ed a Geelstert - true West Coast style. Thanks for a great time, Senniks. Group photo to be submitted...


Willemien and Jason arrived just as I was installing the new lights in the lounge. It was a short visit, however great to catch up. And we tried the new outdoor Teak furniture - great cheese & wine lunch on the stoep.

Since then Deon & Marthie the assistant DIY-team (also known as Mom&Dad) spent a night at the house - no pic here as all they did was work work work. Thanks!

Here is a couple of my favourite activities in this paradise:
- surfski
- wakeboarding
- Hobie sailing
- kiteboarding
- mountain bike in the West Coast National Park
- leisurely walks along the beach

- sunsets from Seeberg lookout in the West Coast National Park

Flower season (Aug / Sept) is a great time of the year to visit Langebaan when brilliant windless days allow for enjoying the natural beauty of the West Coast. Whales visit the Saldanha Bay every year in this time and if you're lucky enough they can be seen from the beach.

Taken in the neighborhood!

This is what empty plots looks like in flower season!

Descending into SharkBay this flower spectacle welcomes you - in summer there is as many kites on the water here. And when its really windy the sand bar is the perfect spot for speed kiting.

Although sailing is possible throughout the year, summer season brings the South Easter which fills the lagoon with whitecaps and a coloured spectacle of Hobie Cats, Kiteboarders & Windsurfers.
