Jim and I are staying at Langerry Flats - where students from St. John's and St. Ben's have stayed since 1998. Our flat is on the third floor, facing the Indian Ocean. We have two bedrooms (one for visitors!), a small kitchen, bath and living room. Best of all, we have a tiny deck off the living room, so we can have our morning coffee facing the sea.
Langerry Flats is situated at a northernmost point of a mile and half-long beach called King's Beach. This area attracts quite a few tourists, primarily from other parts of South Africa and Africa as a whole. We encounter very few Americans. I have gone walking on the beach each of the days since we've arrived, but haven't gone in the water yet. And, Jim "forgot" his trunks.

| A room with a view |
The first evening, Jim and I took a beachwalk, and ended up at The Mediterranean Restaurant for their fresh fish catch of the day. It was a butterbream - and tasted fantastic. We ate out on the veranda, with the moon rising behind us. We kept asking ourselves - "Seriously, is this really January?"
This room with a view is the view I wish I woke to everyday! Can't wait to be there!
