The day started today with a lie in for some as it was a bank holiday for South Africa and the local elections. The more active of us took a stroll. Vaughan and Vivienne walked the perimeter of the village appreciating the flora and fauna and discussing politics and religion! Clive and Chris ventured out of the grounds for a short walk to experience some African views. DJ went for a walk behind the Hands village with some friends to a look out point over the valley.
The afternoon was spent with the charity Mercy Air. We enjoyed cake and tea by the pool & Vaughan, DJ and Alice braved the coldest water ever! One of the pilots, Paul, explained the vision behind the charity. They fly into Southern Africa usually transporting charity workers into remote areas to deliver medical/ dentistry aid. They mainly work in Mozambique and we were lucky to be shown a couple of the aeroplanes. As we left we were treated to a small aeroplane taking off and heading over the Drakensberg range.
We then headed to the Gumtreez restaurant where we enjoyed traditional South African fare of bunny chow, a curry within a small loaf.
All in all a great and relaxing day!
