Anyone for coffee? A guide to Coffee in Langebaan
Coffee! A few years ago Juanita and I were drinking pure chicory. Imagine visiting us and having to politely say "thank you" for the cup of 'coffee' we served. Well, we have come to enjoy the real thing and even invested in a semi-automatic coffee machine a while back. We even have a perfectly working Breville manual coffee maker which we picked up for R250.00 at the monthly Catholic boot sale in town.
The wild flower
‘The wild flower displays are not the only creatures bringing colour and beauty to the Langebaan lagoon and West Coast areas. Langebaan also hosts many bird species common to the lagoon and surrounding wetlands. Visitors to the area may be familiar with the regular birds such as Greater and Lesser Flamingos, Pelicans, Grebes and numerous other sea birds. What is less known is the pair of Verreaux's (Black) Eagles that have nested for years in one of the old granite quarries behind Langebaan. Their nest is a large, ramshackle muddle of dead sticks and vegetation where they can be seen every year sitting on eggs or feeding their chick (there are often two eggs hatched but the first one to hatch typically kills the next one).
