These amazing people work 7 days a week, and in the heat of the scorching sun. Young children sleep anywhere there is a space while their mum's work. The two ladies here were so welcoming and loved having their photo taken, as long as we showed them it after. They would laugh and giggle wanting us to take more. The African ladies spend alot of time doing their hair in braids or other fancy ways.
The last 3 days we have being doing lots of walking. We walk into the township and back to where we are staying, some distance out of town. Basically we are walking the same distance from Mapua to the Richmond mall everyday, and in the heat! We are covered in a layer of dust at the end of the day. It's very dry here and the ground is as hard as the seal on the road. I can't wait to share all my stories with you. :)
Oh Sue, these photos are amazing! What a totally different world you are experiencing! I'm checking each day to catch up on your adventures. You look stunning xx Will show Room 10 this morning. Becks

ReplyDeleteHi guys
DeleteActually not too hot here, between 21 and 26 degrees because we are at a higher altitude. Often coolish in the evenings. Wifi very slow and habe to go ti a favourite coffee house to buy time to send messages. That's why I havent commented as much ss I would have liked too.
Its absolutely amazing what they carry on their heads. Up the mountains they balanced 5kg gas bottles on their heads and across their shoulders, 20kg of gear!!!!! Have pics ti share.
Amazing photos Sue, so great to enjoy this experience and sharing with the others :-)
