More of Langebaan

I've been building up quite a backlog of posts for this holiday. Now that we're settled in Onrus for the next while I'm starting to get opportunities to clear the backlog.

On one evening last week we went to have supper at Friday Island in Langebaan. Their food is always fantastic.

Not having made a reservation, we were seated in the stoute hoekie outside, which was the only available spot (this suited us very well as some of us are stout anyway)

Miekie cut her foot on a shell on the beach outside Friday Island; they must be used to this sort of thing because they immediately brought us their first aid box

On Thursday we drove through the West Coast National Park and had lunch at an Atlantic Viewpoint. We also located a geocache hidden nearby.

On Thursday night Neil and I fell ill. Friday morning was spent at the doctor in Langebaan. Malaria was finally ruled out in my case in favour of an undetermined viral infection and Neil was diagnosed with an ear infection plus a throat infection.

On Friday afternoon we packed up, dropped off the keys at Tim, dropped of the baby chair we borrowed at a friend of Marisa's and as we were exiting Langebaan, heading for Kersefontein, Pieter became sick in the car. We turned around, picked up the keys from Tim, went back to Teen Die Zee washed Pieter and the interior of the car and all the loose things in the car that were "affected" by the incident, and finally set off again to Kersefontein! Pieter probably got the same virus as I had. Just before we arrived in Kersefontein, while already on the dirt road, Pieter became sick in the car again. Luckily we had a plastic bag on standby this time! Ah, the joys of parenting.
