The best surfing spots in South Africa along the West Coast (so far)

-
Prent
We have been road tripping South Africa for the last 10 months now, mostly along the coast. While we were in KZN, our son went for surfing lessons and the feeling was so awesome, he kept bugging us to get to more surfing spots and surf again. We eventually listened to him and bought a surfboard while we stayed in Langebaan. So, here is a newbie's opinion of where to surf along the West coast, starting in Langebaan. 1. Langebaan We stayed in Langebaan for a whole month in November 2018. We surfed in front of Kokomo's restaurant, where the waves were small enough to handle... or completely non-existent. Langebaan is one of the best places to windsurf and kitesurf... but since we did neither of the two - it wasn't one of our best places to surf. If you are a newbie and wanting to surf, we would recommend going to Muizenberg for that. Langebaan 2. Jacob's Bay We spent a day or two at Jacob's Bay, where there are only a few people and houses, so it feels...

Finding King Shaka's Isivivane

-
Prent
In Zulu, the word "isivivane" means to "throw your stone upon the pile". Our book "Op Pad in Suid-Afrika" ( http://www.loot.co.za/product/b-p-j-erasmus-op-pad-in-suid-afrika/xhjf-2791-g650 ) also available in English ( http://www.loot.co.za/product/b-p-j-erasmus-on-route-in-south-africa/jvws-2791-g480 ) had a very short little paragraph under the section about Umzumbe (where we spent a week) telling the story of how King Shaka's "isivivane" was still at the spot where he made it in 1828.  It said that Shaka picked up a stone in his left foot, muttered a prayer, took it with his right hand, spat on it and put it on the ground. All of his men then followed suit and they created a huge pile of stones. This was in order to gain favour from the ancestors for his next invasion. (into Pondoland) We were immediately curious about this interesting place and I started googling for some more information. I came across this article on the Umz...

Ons lewe op die oomblik - ons groentetuin

-
Prent
Ek het gedink ek wil net bietjie post oor ons lewe op die oomblik. Na so 2 of 3 jaar se "non-stop" werk, het ons besluit ek sal bietjie terugstaan en vir Pieter die leisels van die besigheid oorgee, sodat ek net 'n mamma kan wees terwyl on kindertjies nog sie klein is. Meeste van die dae gaan dit goed, maar so elke nou en dan is dit nogsteeds nodig dat ek moet inspring en help. In elk geval, ek het gedink dit sal goed wees om neer te skryf wat dit is wat ek toe intussen begin doen het, om te "check" of ek wel regrky om mamma te wees, en seker te maak ek verander nie in 'n lui mens nie! Een van die lekker dinge waarvoor ek nou party dae tyd voor het, is ons groentetuin. hierdie is ons rytjie wortels. Daar was definitief meer geplant, maar Bolt het dit uitgegrawe, of Moses het dit uitgespit. Die is die "chinese cabbage". Ek kan eintlik glad nie onthou hoeveel ek geplant het nie, maar daar is net een plantjie wat uitgekom het. Sover ly...
