On Sunday of our stay in Langebaan, it was raining, so went to the West Coast Fossil Park. West Coast Fossil Park preserves one of the richest late Miocene fossil sites in the world, where remarkably intact remains of ancient animals — including sabre-toothed cats, short-necked giraffes, and bear-like dogs — reveal what the west coast of South Africa looked like around five million years ago.

Langebaan weekend
A wonderful 3 nights in Langebaan with my old hiking group including Antony, Kim and Roxanne, Michelle and her boys, Paul and Adele and Mary-Anne. We went for a walk at The West Coast National Park on the Saturday. Sunday was rainy so we chilled out inside and played some fun games. We also visited the West Coast Fossil park. Langebaan has grown so much since I was there last but still a wonderful spot.
