Xmas in the Little Karoo

What is going on? yesterday I searched the Satellite TV schedule for both The Great Escape and The Magnificent Seven and neither were being shown it was all lame recent films that were being shown, instead I went to visit the Meiringspoort Waterfall all kitted out in my walking boots which were definitely necessary to negotiate the rocky path to the falls only to find that they were not required footwear for the crowd if kids who were running up and down the path and having fun in the pool at the base of the waterfall, any water feature is a magnet for the locals in this desert area. I spent the rest of the day chilling by the pool at Earthbound and I will be doing more of the same today.

The Meiringspoort Pass

My impressions of South Africa are that it is a very Christian country so I was surprised to find that, petrol stations and their attached supermarkets were open on Xmas day I thought that everywhere would be closed and today a lot of shops and the bottle stores are open.

Tomorrow is going to be a cultural day visiting museums.
