Backpacking around the Transkie
... were shat on by bats. Another scramble up the cliff and back to the hostel for some nosh and beer. A local village head man invited us to his house for dinner. I went with a group of around 15 others, who sat innertly awestruck at the modesty of his house, while I asked endless questions.
