beach treat

beach treat happened in Langebaan, famous beach resort some 120km north of Capetown on the Atlantic coast of South Africa. As a surfer's paradise Langebaan hosts a fair number of very casual authentic beach restaurants with abundant supply of phantastic sea food. Our choice tonight is the famous "Die Stranloper". The atmosphere here is very casual indeed: guests find seating on simple wooden furniture on the beach near a warming fire - yes also in South Africa can Atlanric nights be a bit cold. The food is prepared right on the spot and one can chose from various stands.

Our beach traiteur is active preparing his evening offerings. The workplace, spot-illuminated, stands out against the already darker skies with the sun just down as we can detect in the background. We sense what it is all about tonight: still warm sand under the feet, a fresh breeze from the ocean, growing appetite for some oysters or maybe a lobster, a warm campfire to the left, live guitar tunes and a more than relaxed crowd around. May the party begin!
