And then into the Transkei--first stop DWESA

Dwesa---- Nature Reserve all for ourselves! As we are traveling after the long school (Summer) holidays there are very few travellers. We've only spotted one other Landi till now.
So here is this huge park (long, bumpy road... ) Transkei is huge and you will drive up a hill and down a hill, up and down and down and up... people here of course walk, but there are quite a few cars as well...
here a few pics from Dwesa... Wild Coast, South Africa... Tribal Lands!

From Hogsback... to Cintsa... to Morgan Bay (Eastern Cape)

We gave Ruben's new friend Richard a ride to Cintsa...

For travellers with kids... the big blue bucket has been a success (even though I had to fight for it with Piet)... laundry...and washing kids...or as a little swimming pool out in the bush... a must-have! unfortunately it broke... dirty kids since then... haha

Piet showing the solar chargers and lights... this Malawiian Rastafarian going home in Feb, so let's hope he will sell a lot for us! check out piet and julian's business.... www.energix.co.za ...  in this area most people have electricity, but still a lot of people, who don't have

Dear Family and Friends
I just see now that my two last posts didn't publish! That's a bit annoying as I spent a long time in front of the computer to up-load pictures and used all my internet airtime on it...grrrr... so will see to post a few now...
We've been going from Hogsback to Cintsa, then Morgan Bay, Coffee Bay and now Bulungula.
Then we need to go back to Coffee Bay for few days, then off to Oupa's old farm lands, then into Lesotho for probably a week. Exciting!
NOW we're in the paradise Bulungula, a great example of building a lodge WITH the community (they own half of it)... everything and everybody is in HARMONY here. Whilst in Coffee Bay everyone wants something from you, the kids running up to your car, holding out their hands and calling SWEEEETS!!... now here with Dave (the founder of Bulungula) people are in involved. If kids are reported asking for something, they will hold a village meeting...
it just shows you-- it IS POSSIBLE, this place shows you exactly that world peace is possible... when people start to see what they have! lovely, small businesses have evolved here through the Bulungula Incubator, also a school, and it is maybe something I would like to start at some place in this beautiful world... 
If anybody wants me to bring them a lovely felt i-pad bag home (R170) then let me know! we are here until monday.
let me post a few pix, as it is a rainy day today...
Much Love,
Cata

the poop series

we stocked up on nappies before leaving... as KK still needs a nappy for the one-time-per-day event...
here's a little series... funny how kids will sneak off, find the ideal spot and then he will 'hide'...
