Shop til We Drop!



We arrived at Thokoza last night at 8pm after a long, dark drive from Maphungwane. We were served dinner and we bolted to the long awaited hot showers. We all had a great night's sleep and were totally refreshed in the morning. We spent the morning cleaning and reorganizing our equipment for next weeks clinic, which will be in the southern part of the country. After lunch we travelled to Ngwenya Glass Factory where we toured and saw how the figurines and glasses were made by hand out of recycled glass. Little did we know that the speed limit was 80km/hr, when our guide...Carl+ was going 96km/hr. Ask him about when you see him! Then we were off to the market, it started to rain and the "boys" were getting antsy...imagine that! So we will be off again tomorrow to get more shopping done and to visit the Swazi Candle Factory. We returned to Thokosa Center for more food and fellowship in the thunder. Now I am blogging with Nolwazi (Kendra) and Sabusiswa (Stevie), everyone else in playing cribbage. Hi to Emma and Chris, and my Make Vera. Love, Gugu (Elizabeth)
