Thank you Igor,
original it is I think, as we where the only overlanders up there, also lost in the country many times, as there were hardly roads outside
the towns, just gravel and of course no signs..loll
Enjoy your evening, Jen

Very true Robbie, it makes you humble to see all this, as I told Nicki above here how people live there, so many differences, not even that poor itself, but they won't eat their cattle, thousands of cows and sheep, green more like Holland, so much water, wet climat, strange life and how they use it... Hope one day they will learn and we dont have to teach anymore...
Have a nice day, Jen

They really have to work hard sweet Nicki, there is no other way in Ethiopia, there is too many people in a country like that, also lots and lots of cattle and hunger, but they won't eat the meat, only for easter...its the greenest country i've seen in Africa, strange isnt it? But so very poor and never seen so many beggers..kids, heavy stuff and not my favourite country......I think almost every village is helped by some town from abroad, signes everywhere!
Hope I will speak to you, or have a great evening too, wet and cold here.....hope better there:))
Big hugs, Jenxx

I think I drove on at first and then went back to see this weird looking wheelbarrow, something I couldnt believe someone could make....
This makes you humble and thankful (sometimes;)) that life can be easier, but not always more happy, shown by this handsome man...and he doesnt even realize.... wished I could have send him a big photo of this.....;)
A shot like this tells me much more then the sky of Stellenbosch to be honest...strange maybe:)) but true, much more precious to me....warm and big hug, Jenxx

Mille grazie my dearest Gust@avo,
I think riding with a wheelbarrow like this
is a job on its own, think the wood is
really heavy to roll:)) But it was a real
happy guy, I loved all the contrasts to see
of colours and nature...happy you do too,
thank you for that!! Abrazo Jenxx

Of course he was happy, who wouldn't be...lolll
It was just great to see this guy being happy, so he made me too! Some pictures stay in your head, and I have to look everywhere where I put it.....and finally finding it makes my day:))
But you made me happy liking it, very very much appreciated my sweet Uncle, big hugs Jenxx

I think those countries have a hard time, all the sad and bad things I'v seen there...but also a lot of joy, like this man, having fun and wish I could show him how he still is on my mind...:))
Point is I'm not a flower girl all the time, although I love them in my house, specially
tulips, really Dutch;) I would love to see some shots from your country too, is it difficult to get on the street and just make photo's?
Big hugs and kiss, Jenxx

Isn't it great how they re-use wood and things,
it seems to work well, what impressed me was his

Bellissima at work! Stupenda direi... noi occidentali che abbiamo perso l'abilità per farci le cose più insignificanti e dobbiamo comperare tutto… lui con due legni si è fatto una ottima e ben operativa carriola!
