two old pics

Richie Havens at Womad 2005, Reading, UK. I love Womad... I enjoyed Havens and though not a fan, I like my picture of him here.
These guys were easily the best group at this Womad: Les Yeux Noirs. Here the main two are playing ONE violin, quite wildly; a brilliant group. Eastern European, or French Gypsey music. I ran and bought all three available CDs as soon as their first sesssion was over, and still listen to them frequently.

Hike on sunday

Yvonne and Thomas most of the way to Dome pools. The area had burned out a few days ago. Yvonne loves hiking but can't get out as much as she'd like because of the kids, so we join her when she can, to help with Thomas and Alex.

Alex isn't much into hiking but will gladly go if Rita goes.
She loved this bum slide, I tried it once... bum got a bit sore. Alex went about 20 times .

Thomas and me: comparing our carrots as we eat them.

Badplaas

A series of slides and mini-rapids, with overhead waterfalls - great fun ride. Not really for kids who can't swim as occasionally one gets overturned.

The long, fast, twisting slide.
