So we arrived back from b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. Langebaan yesterday after two days driving and I have never been more grateful that I am still too young to drive. I don't think it's healthy how much I slept but we'll face that later :)
Okay, so I mentioned our Langebaan holiday and 98% of the approximately 8 of you that will read this will be thinking either
- Langebaan...?
- Can you eat that???
- How in fresh Eucalyptus do you even say that??
So to answer the first question: Langebaan is a small lagoon in the Western Cape, South Africa, it is really little, and there are VERY few people there and those that are there are either introverted fisherman or severely extroverted Afrikaans men who live by two rules: Always one too many beers and Always one size too small clothes. Simple.
Secondly: No. You cannot eat it. Unless you enjoy the taste of fresh hermit crab and sand. Although, if you're as lucky as we were, you might even find a flat turtle. Poor guy had been run over a couple times and could very well be used as a notepad front cover, assuming your notepad it turtle shaped...
Langebaan is pronounced pretty much as you read it
- "Lang-" like long with an "a"
- Therefore: Langebaan..
Relatively simple.. I think?
PICTURE TIME. =]

| This is a slightly more zoomed in map, showing the beautiful waters and the lagoon etc. |
This one is my little cropped map off Google Images, just to illustrate exactly how tiny it is.. That is Langebaan. The whole town. I've placed the marker approximately at our house where we stay every year and my little paradise.
There you have it. So on to more exciting things:
HOLIDAY ANTICS =]
What we did was whole buckets and buckets, in fact, truck loads of nothing, and it was great. I won't bore you with details, except to tell you about the pancakes. Oh. My. Asdfghjkl. There's a little shop called "Pancakes Galore and Coffee Bar" and if you EVER go to Langebaan YOU HAVE TO TRY THEIR PANCAKES!! You will never look at another pancake the same way again!! They're A.M.AAAZING!! I don't think I've ever eaten so many pancakes in my life, but I regret nothing. They're unbelievable!
I must tell you my very sad story quickly: On the last day me, my sister and my boyfriend where casually strolling down the main road (the only highly populated place in the whole town, thank you Pearly's Pub) when we saw literally thee cutest pants I have ever laid eyes on, in my circle of friends they're known as "Hippy Pants"? I don't know about the rest of the world but here that's what we call them. They were light blue and poofy and floral and just perfection in a pair of pants. I was desperately trying to get Lynx and Dylan (my sister and my boyfriend) to slow down, but in their defense it was 2:30 pm and we still hadn't tackled breakfast never mind lunch, so we marched onward towards Steers for, what must be said, the best burger I have had in a long time. Despite them promising me we could go back to look for prices and sizes in the beautiful pants, when we eventually did head back in that direction, sunburn and the burger had gotten the better of my brain and we marched right past them... *sobs internally* And now you know. T=Not that I think you care, but you didn't have to read all that junk, it was your choice... In fact, you're still reading this, and for that I love you forever and ever and ever and if we ever meet I will not hesitate to confess my love to you face-to-face =]
I really want to ask you guys a huuuge favour, my sister has started a beauty blog and its really great, we started our blogs on the same day so we're equally as new to this but really please go check it out, she knows her stuff... =] Please click here to go to her blog! =] It won't deviate off this page, it will open in a new tab! Promise!
To show you how thankful I am that you're here, here is a .gif of a turtle (RIP FLAT TURTLE MAN IN LANGEBAAN. I'M GOING TO CALL YOU CRUSH(/KRUSH?) LIKE THE GUY IN FINDING NEMO BECAUSE THAT'S THE BEST MOVIE EVER AND STUFF) on a record.
Okay I have school in.. I don't know.. A few days.. Math and stuff.. eh. Anyway, so I have to try and regulate my messed up sleeping patterns in the last few evenings of holidays, enjoy your day/night/eclipse/outer space/underwater/or if you're a hopeless teenager addicted to her computer like me, enjoy your bedroom/study with your computer/laptop/tablet. I LOVE YOU.
Many apologies about my overuse of "/"s and "..." and my annoyingly long sentences but I tend to think longwindedly and it just rambles out like that in shambles on a page... #yolo.
Trust me, I hate me more than you do for just saying that... I'm sorry... Love me?
Last thing before I lose you, I do have twitter and tumblr so plleeeeaassee follow me there
If you send me a message on either telling me you came from my blog I will love you and I will follow you back and be your best friend forever. I'm not clingy. I swear. I love you. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =]
