We didn't do much today. We contemplated gutting the fish caught the day before for supper, but neither of us were too enthusiastic about that, so eventually Jeff decided take the fish to his maid's house. She stays on the farm too, but a short distance away.
We took the quad bikes (ATV) and spent nearly two hours out riding. We delivered the fish after having a battle with one of the young girls living in the compound who was being blatantly unenthusiastically unhelpful about finding the woman we were looking for. The gate to the compound was locked and this young girl was being so stupid!!! Typical! Finally after much explanation from Jeff, she reluctantly took the fish and went away. Whether dear old "gogo" (isiZulu for grandmother) got the present or not remains to be discovered.

We went off the farm and down the district road to a small quarry and tried to play around there for a bit on the quads, but there'd been so much rain the night before it was a bit slushy, so we drove around in the Polela river to wash all the mud off the quad bikes!! Boys and their toys!!!
We drove back to the farm, scratched around for something for lunch, stared out across the dam from the veranda, then had a 'power nap'.
Later in the afternoon we watched a storm travelling past.
Another hard day in Africa!!!!!
