Valley of 1000 Hills

So a little while ago Molly (sweet lady whose car we rescued) took Ali, Amy and I to Valley of 1000 Hills for the day. It was so much fun. We had lunch together and cake to celebrate Molly's birthday. Then went to Fey Zulu which is this Zulu cultural place. We saw the Zulu show, which was really cool. I actually learnt more too - the cool hats the women wear are like the equivalent to our wedding rings!

Here is us in the hut where they told us about Zulu life.



Here is some of the dancing


This is a Sangoma and her apprentice


we also went to a crocodile farm

It was awesome - the crocs were huge, and I saw anacodas, and a whole range of snakes!

Also Molly is the most amazing lady. Most of the people here, especially the white South Africans, irritiate me sometimes coz these racial slurs just slip out during conversation. But Molly is so open minded, and i mean this in the best way, especially for her age. She has lived through the bullshit racism of Apartheid and the stereotypes the government used yet she is totally unaffected by them. She is also totally tough! She's been taking on her housing estate in a legal battle for the past yeah. She's totally fearless and sticks by her convictions and stuck it to them! They tried to charge her this massive illegitimate bill for accomodation and bullied otehr residents too, when she refused, they tried to evict her! But she sought out legal aid and beat them! I'm really very very impressed with her - I hope we get to meet up again before we go. She's the coolest lady ever!
