Pics of Christmas

These are the ladies who had cooked for about two days and made a delicious lunch for the entire village and all friends and family. The most impressive thing was the perfect rice cooked on the fire in the black pot!
This was the view from our tent. It is a really beautiful part of the South African Transkei and although the services are basic, the people there are friendly and tend not to complain about the situation they are in - something I am going to do on my next posting: things to complain about (roads, water, sewerage, clinics etc)

Our tent pitched in the garden of a friend's small holding. The rondaval ('rondie') next to it is where the bridal couple slept and will be their home anytime they visit the family.
