New Years Eve

For our New Years Eve party we went to the top end of town to a grand design created by a Scottish lady. The views were amazing from the multi level building - possibly inspired by the jetsons

After some mulled wine on arrival the entertainment started with local musicians and dancers. The masenqo is a single string lute which, having had a go, is more difficult to play than it looks. Accompanied by a kerebo drum the traditional shoulder dance involves a lot of upper body movement. 
After a buffet dinner it was back to the firepit for more dancing & toasting marshmallows. The new year was greated with a glass of sparkling wine imported from South Africa.

Happy New Year!
