Tiebele and Nazinga

After lots of problems with the internet, the tech guy FINALLY came to the house after Lon called the director of the company.

We have a router problem which has caused all the frequent drops. It should get fixed on Tuesday.

In the meantime, a wire to the wireless router means that I can FINALLY upload a few vids from our trip last month.



This is from the roof of our hut in Tiebele, you can hear the drumming from the funeral in the distance





fun at bathtime

Man and his mangoes

We have a mango tree in our garden, and two of our neighbours have trees which overhang our garden.

We are enjoying watching them grow and develop. Hopefully, we will get some yummy free manoes! It is however possible that we have the fibrous type...oh well





A couple of Sundays ago we could hear a lot of party noise, so took a walk round the corner to walk into a rather posh wedding party

Visit to Tond Tenga

We got up early on Sunday to visit a project on the edge of the city.

Its an organic farm and boarding school, teaching young men how to grow a variety of crops, and animal husbandry for all kinds of animals. There's a good description here



the vegetable gardens

the cooks making To which is very labour intensive. They are cooking on bio-gas which is a by product of the cows...



the bio gas installation

very interesting. We hope to join their veg box scheme after the hot period.

Bleurgh!

We may have discovered one of the most disgusting beverages aimed at the African market - its being quite heavily advertised here.

Why lemon and ginger would be appropriate flavours to add to COFFEE I don't know. Maybe I am too conservative. Either way its yuck, not even mmm interesting, plain yuck!


We can post the first brave soul who's interested a sachet as we have one spare!
