Giraffes and zebras and......OH MY!

Well, our internal clock is still somewhere between home and here! We were wide awake at 5 AM again!!! So no trouble being ready for the 6:45 leaving time for market! Bought vegies, meat, bread and a milk tart, which we had for dessert in the evening! A typical Afrikans dessert. Very tasty!

The ladies were invited to Sally's house for breakfast. About ten ladies were there...all from James' and Joan's church. After the breaky,  we went to 'Deluxe Fabric', where we bought shweshwe fabric. It is a stiff hundred percent cotton fabric.  Apparently when the missionaries came to South Africa and saw the bare chested black women, they did not know where to leave their eyes!!! So they introduced this fabric to the king, and the ladies loved it. It is now a traditional dress!

       My stash! Aren't the colors lovely?

Just outside Pietermaritzburg is a nature reserve. We went for a hike through it with James late afternoon, to see what we could find.

We got within 100 feet of this big guy!!

And I always thought zebras were black and white!

I got a picture of this monkey, while sitting in Alty's courtyard. He was running along the prison wall, apparently coming to raid Alty's strawberries!

And we hear the Bombers were defeated again!
